FAQs
How does your pinpoint leak detection system work, and why is it better than traditional methods?
We use electronic moisture-sensing scanners, infrared thermography, and trace gas testing to locate the exact entry point of water without pulling up shingles or cutting into drywall. Traditional "hunt-and-hope" methods rely on visual inspections and random tear-offs, which often miss hidden breaches and add repair costs. Our technology identifies leaks within inches, saving time, money, and unnecessary roof disturbance while giving you a documented map of every problem area.
What signs should prompt me to schedule a leak detection service for my Sale Creek home?
Call us if you notice ceiling stains, peeling paint, musty odors, higher humidity indoors, curled or missing shingles, or water spots in your attic after rain. Even small, intermittent drips can lead to mold growth and structural rot. Because storms off Chickamauga Lake can drive rain under flashing and vents, early detection is the best protection against expensive roof replacements.
Will the leak detection process damage my roof or interior?
No. All of our diagnostic tools are non-invasive. Infrared cameras scan from outside, moisture meters read through roofing materials, and trace gas escapes through existing openings. We do not remove shingles, decking, or insulation unless you approve a repair. Once we pinpoint the leak, we present photos, a written report, and repair options so you remain in control of any work performed.
How quickly can you find and fix a leak in the Sale Creek area?
Most homes are scanned and diagnosed in 60–90 minutes. Because we stock common flashing, sealants, and shingle types on our service trucks, 80 % of leaks are repaired the same day we detect them. Larger issues—such as rotten decking or multiple penetration failures—can usually be scheduled for repair within 24–48 hours. Emergency tarping is available 24/7 during heavy rain events.
Are your technicians licensed, insured, and do you provide warranties on leak repairs?
Yes. Roofing Done Right is fully licensed by the State of Tennessee and carries $2 million in general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. All technicians complete manufacturer-approved training in leak detection and repair. We back pinpoint leak repairs with a written 2-year workmanship warranty, and materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 20–30 years, depending on the product installed.
How much does professional leak detection in Sale Creek cost, and will that fee apply to the repair?
A standard single-family roof scan starts at $189, which covers travel, up to two hours of electronic testing, an infrared report, and consultation. For homes larger than 4,000 sq ft or with multiple roof levels, the fee is $249. If you choose us for the repair, we credit 50 % of the detection fee toward the final invoice, helping you save on the total project cost. We also offer financing for repairs over $500.
