FAQs
How can I tell if my Turtletown roof has hidden storm-related leaks?
Look for subtle signs such as water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint around roof-line trim, damp attic insulation, musty odors after heavy rain, or unexplained spikes in indoor humidity. Because many storm-caused punctures are tiny or under lifted shingles, they may not drip openly for weeks or months. A professional moisture-mapping inspection with infrared imaging is the most reliable way to confirm hidden leaks.
Why is it important to repair storm damage right away instead of waiting?
Even minor wind or hail damage can allow water intrusion that slowly rots decking, insulation, and framing. In Turtletown’s humid climate, trapped moisture can trigger mold growth in as little as 48 hours. The longer you wait, the more interior materials are compromised—and most insurance policies require prompt action to stay fully covered. Early restoration prevents higher repair costs and preserves your policy benefits.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover hidden leak repairs from a recent storm?
Most policies written for Polk County, TN, cover “sudden and accidental” storm damage, including wind-lifted shingles or hail impact that later causes leaks. You typically have 12–24 months to file a claim, but prompt documentation is crucial. Our team works directly with all major insurers, meets the adjuster on site, and supplies infrared images and core samples to validate that the leak originated from the insured storm event.
How long does a typical storm damage restoration project take in Turtletown?
Timelines vary by severity, but for an average single-family home: • Emergency tarping: Same day. • Insurance adjustment and approval: 5-10 business days. • Roof repair or replacement: 1-3 days once materials arrive. • Interior drying and repairs: 3-7 days. We coordinate everything so your total restoration is often completed within 2–3 weeks from the first visit, weather permitting.
