FAQs
What is pinpoint leak detection and repair?
Pinpoint leak detection is a specialized process in which we trace the exact source of water intrusion on your roof using infrared scanners, moisture meters, and thorough visual inspection. Once located, we carry out a focused repair—replacing damaged shingles, sealing flashing, or patching membrane defects—so only the compromised area is disturbed. This targeted method is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than broad tear-offs or guess-and-check repairs.
How do I know I need pinpoint leak repair for my roof in Rutledge?
Typical signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, drips during heavy rain, musty odors in the attic, blistering paint, or damp insulation. Sometimes leaks remain hidden but your energy bill rises due to saturated insulation. If you see any of these red flags—or suspect storm damage—schedule an inspection. Our technicians will confirm whether a localized leak repair is all you need or if larger issues are present.
What roofing materials can you provide pinpoint leak repairs for?
We service asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shakes, single-ply membranes (TPO, EPDM, PVC), modified bitumen, and slate roofs commonly found in Rutledge and surrounding Jefferson County. Each material requires different sealants and repair techniques, and our crews are factory-trained to match original manufacturer specifications so the repair blends seamlessly and maintains your warranty.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak in Rutledge?
For active leaks that threaten interior damage, we offer 24/7 emergency service. A crew is typically onsite within 2–4 hours of your call, even on weekends and holidays. We start with temporary containment—tarps or sealant—then schedule permanent pinpoint repairs once the roof is dry and replacement materials are available.
Will pinpoint leak repair extend the life of my roof or do I need a full replacement?
If the roof’s overall structure and surface are still sound, a properly executed pinpoint repair can add 5–10 years to its service life by stopping water before it spreads. We only recommend full replacement when leaks stem from widespread shingle failure, extensive decking rot, or a roof that’s already at the end of its designed lifespan. During our inspection, we provide photos and moisture readings so you can make an informed decision.
Is pinpoint leak repair in Rutledge covered by my homeowner’s insurance?
Coverage depends on the cause. Sudden events—such as wind-blown debris, hail, or a fallen branch—are usually covered, while leaks from long-term neglect often are not. We document the damage with high-resolution photos, provide a detailed repair estimate, and can meet with your adjuster to streamline the claim process. Even if the leak itself isn’t covered, interior damage may be, so it’s always worth filing a claim or at least consulting your agent.
