FAQs
How can I tell if my Tellico Plains roof has a hidden leak?
Hidden leaks often show up as subtle signs inside your home long before you see water dripping from the ceiling. Look for discolored spots on drywall, peeling paint around roof-line trim, musty odors in the attic, or higher-than-usual humidity indoors. In Tellico Plains, our frequent spring storms can push water under shingles, so any unexplained ceiling stain after a heavy rain is reason to call for an inspection.
What kinds of roof damage are most likely to cause hidden leaks in Tellico Plains?
Wind-lifted shingles, punctures from falling branches, cracked flashing around chimneys, and loose ridge vents are common culprits. Because Monroe County sits in a zone that sees both strong thunderstorm winds and occasional ice events, shingles can curl or split and metal fasteners can loosen, letting water infiltrate without obvious surface damage.
How quickly should I schedule a repair once a hidden leak is discovered?
Immediately. Even a pin-size hole can let in gallons of water over a single rainstorm. The longer moisture sits in decking, insulation, or drywall, the faster wood rot, mold growth, and structural damage develop. We offer same-day emergency service in Tellico Plains to stop active leaks and schedule permanent repairs as soon as weather allows.
Do you provide free leak-detection inspections for Tellico Plains homeowners?
Yes. We offer a complimentary, no-obligation roof inspection that includes moisture-meter readings and thermal imaging to locate trapped water. After the assessment, you’ll receive photos, a written estimate, and our recommended repair plan so you can make an informed decision.
Can you repair all roof types common in this area?
Absolutely. Our trained technicians service asphalt shingles, standing-seam and corrugated metal, EPDM and TPO flat roofs, and specialty materials such as cedar shakes. We stock matching shingles and metal panels sized for homes in the Tellico Plains market, so most repairs can be completed in a single visit.
Will my homeowners insurance cover hidden leak repairs?
Coverage varies by policy, but many insurers pay for sudden, accidental damage—such as storm-related leaks—provided the roof has been properly maintained. We document all damage with photos and can meet with your adjuster on-site to streamline the claim process. If the leak resulted from gradual wear or lack of maintenance, insurance may only cover interior damage. We can still provide an affordable repair plan and help with financing if needed.
