FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important in Sequatchie, especially for hidden leaks?
Sequatchie’s mix of heavy rain, hail, and high humidity means water can work its way under shingles without leaving visible damage. A professional inspection identifies moisture intrusion early, preventing rot, mold, and costly structural repairs. It also keeps manufacturer warranties valid and documents roof condition for insurance purposes.
What signs indicate I might have a hidden leak even if my roof looks fine from the ground?
Interior water stains, musty odors, peeling paint, sudden spikes in energy bills, granules in gutters, and small areas of shingle curling or discoloration can all point to hidden leaks. Because these symptoms often start subtly, scheduling an inspection as soon as you notice any of them is critical.
What does Hidden Leaks Roofing look for during a Sequatchie roof inspection?
Our certified inspectors evaluate shingle integrity, flashing around chimneys and vents, valley seals, gutter alignment, and fastener corrosion. Inside the attic we check for damp insulation, water trails, and inadequate ventilation. We also use moisture meters and optional infrared imaging to locate leaks that aren’t yet visible.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Sequatchie’s climate?
We recommend at least one full inspection every 12 months. If your roof is over 10 years old, or after severe storms with hail or high winds, schedule an additional check. Regular inspections catch small issues before they grow into expensive repairs or premature roof replacement.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the cost of repairs found during an inspection?
Most policies cover sudden, weather-related damage—such as hail-pitted shingles or wind-torn flashing—provided you file promptly. Age-related wear or neglected maintenance is usually excluded. Hidden Leaks Roofing supplies detailed photo reports and will work directly with your adjuster to streamline legitimate claims.
How long does a roof inspection take and what do I receive afterward?
A typical Sequatchie home takes 45–90 minutes, depending on roof size and pitch. You don’t need to be on the roof; we handle all safety measures. Within 24 hours you’ll receive a digital report with annotated photos, moisture readings, a repair/maintenance estimate, and prioritized recommendations so you can make informed decisions.
