FAQs
How does pinpoint leak detection work and why is it important for my Vonore home?
We use a combination of infrared thermography, electronic moisture meters, and drone imaging to locate the exact source of water intrusion without removing shingles or metal panels. By identifying the precise entry point, we can repair only the affected area, saving you money, preserving the integrity of your roof system, and preventing secondary problems such as mold growth or structural rot—issues that can be common in East Tennessee’s humid climate.
What types of roofing materials can you inspect and repair with leak-detection technology?
Our equipment is calibrated for asphalt shingles, standing-seam and screw-down metal roofs, EPDM and TPO membranes, modified bitumen, and even slate or tile. Each surface reflects heat and moisture differently, so we adjust our sensors’ sensitivity to ensure accurate readings and appropriate repair techniques for every roofing type found in Vonore homes and businesses.
What are the signs that I need professional leak detection instead of a simple patch job?
If you notice ceiling stains that keep returning after DIY repairs, unexplained musty odors, spikes in humidity, blistering paint, or multiple water spots appearing far from roof penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights), it’s likely that water is traveling beneath the roof covering. In these cases, a pinpoint diagnostic is the only reliable way to trace the leak path before making repairs.
How long does the leak-detection and roof-repair process take?
Most residential inspections in Vonore take 1–2 hours from setup to final report. If a minor repair is needed, we can usually complete it the same day, weather permitting. Larger repairs or replacement of damaged decking may extend the project to 1–2 days. We always provide a clear timeline and keep you informed of any changes.
Will pinpoint leak detection damage my roof or disrupt my household?
No. Our diagnostic tools are non-invasive, meaning we don’t have to tear up shingles or drill test holes. We walk the roof surface carefully, use handheld scanners, and interpret thermal images from a safe distance. Inside your home, we may scan ceilings and attic spaces, but we take protective measures to keep insulation and belongings undisturbed.
Are your leak-detection and repair services covered by insurance or warranties?
Many homeowners’ insurance policies will cover water-damage diagnostics and emergency roof repairs if the leak was caused by a covered peril such as wind or hail. We provide detailed inspection reports with photos that meet insurers’ documentation requirements. All repairs we perform carry a workmanship warranty (5 years on small repairs, up to 10 years on larger sections), and any new materials are backed by manufacturer warranties.
