FAQs
How does your moisture-tracking technology detect hidden storm damage on my roof?
We use infrared thermography and wireless sensors that measure temperature differentials and humidity levels inside the roofing system. Wet insulation and decking hold heat longer than dry areas, so our cameras identify those hot spots while the sensors relay real-time moisture readings. This non-invasive approach lets us pinpoint leaks, trapped water, and compromised underlayment without removing shingles or cutting test holes.
Why is moisture tracking so important after a storm in Turtletown?
Turtletown’s humid subtropical climate accelerates mold growth and wood rot once water infiltrates your roof. Hail or high winds can open tiny seams that aren’t visible from the ground. If trapped moisture isn’t found within the first 24–72 hours, decking can delaminate and attic insulation can lose up to 40 % of its R-value. Moisture-tracking tech ensures we locate and dry these pockets before they create structural damage or indoor air-quality problems.
What storm-related warning signs mean I should schedule a moisture inspection?
Call us if you notice loose or missing shingles, lifted flashing, ceiling stains, musty odors in the attic, unusually high energy bills, or granules in your gutters. Even if your roof looks intact, severe thunderstorms, hail, or straight-line winds over 50 mph—common in Polk County—can force water under the shingle tabs. A moisture scan provides peace of mind and documents the roof’s condition for insurance purposes.
What does the storm-damage restoration process involve from start to finish?
1. Free on-site assessment and moisture scan within 24 hours of your call. 2. Digital report with marked infrared images and moisture-sensor readings. 3. Emergency dry-in or tarp service if active leaks are present. 4. Detailed repair or replacement proposal, including materials, timeline, and costs. 5. Coordination with your insurance adjuster; we supply the moisture-tracking data that speeds claim approval. 6. Roof repair or full replacement using impact-rated shingles and upgraded underlayment. 7. Final moisture audit and 10-year workmanship warranty issued once we confirm the roof is 100 % dry and sealed.
Will my homeowners insurance cover moisture-tracking inspections and repairs?
Most carriers that service Turtletown recognize infrared and sensor reports as valid proof of storm damage. The inspection fee is usually reimbursed when damage is confirmed and a claim is filed. Roof repairs or replacements caused by wind, hail, or fallen debris are typically covered after you pay your deductible. We handle all documentation, meet with the adjuster on site, and bill the insurer directly for approved work so you have minimal out-of-pocket costs.
