FAQs

What is pinpoint leak detection and how does it benefit my roof or siding in Ten Mile?

Pinpoint leak detection uses specialized instruments—such as infrared scanners, moisture meters, ultrasonic sensors, and tracer dyes—to locate the exact source of water intrusion in roofing and siding systems. By identifying the precise entry point, we can recommend targeted repairs instead of broad, costly tear-offs, saving you money, reducing disruption, and extending the life of your building envelope in Ten Mile’s varied climate.

How do you find hidden leaks without removing shingles, metal panels, or vinyl siding?

Our technicians perform a non-invasive multi-step process: (1) visual inspection to spot obvious faults, (2) infrared thermography to detect temperature anomalies caused by trapped moisture, (3) electronic moisture mapping to confirm damp zones, and (4) tracer dye or smoke testing for difficult cases. These tools let us trace water migration paths from surface to substrate without dismantling your roofing or siding materials.

What signs should prompt me to schedule leak detection for my Ten Mile home or business?

Call us if you notice ceiling stains, peeling paint, unexpected spikes in humidity, musty odors, warped siding, loose shingles, or drips during heavy rain. Even small, intermittent symptoms can lead to mold growth, insulation damage, and structural rot. Early detection in Ten Mile’s humid summers and freeze-thaw winters prevents minor leaks from escalating into expensive repairs.

Will pinpoint leak detection damage my roof, siding, or interior finishes?

No. Our methods are designed to be non-destructive. Infrared and ultrasonic tools operate from the surface, and moisture probes use tiny pinholes that seal naturally or can be patched with sealant. In rare situations where a test cut is essential, we obtain your approval first and restore the area afterward. Your roof and siding integrity remain intact throughout the inspection.

How long does the inspection take, and what happens after you locate the leak?

Most residential roofs and siding systems in Ten Mile can be fully scanned in 1–2 hours; larger commercial properties may take half a day. You’ll receive a digital report with annotated photos, moisture maps, and repair recommendations within 24 hours. If you approve, our crew can often perform same-day or next-day targeted repairs, backed by a workmanship warranty.

Are leak detection and subsequent repairs covered by insurance or manufacturer warranties?

Homeowners’ insurance may reimburse leak detection and repair costs if the water intrusion results from a covered peril (e.g., wind or hail). We document findings to simplify your claim. Manufacturer warranties usually cover material defects but not leaks caused by installation errors or aging; however, our detailed report can help validate a warranty claim when applicable. Always review your policy and warranty terms, or let us guide you through the process.
