Storm Damage Assessment & Hurricane Recovery

After a storm rolls through St. Petersburg or Pinellas County, a prompt and accurate Storm Damage Assessment is crucial. Wind, hail, and flying debris can cause significant harm that isn't always visible from the ground. Our team is trained to identify all forms of hurricane damage and wind damage repair needs, from subtle hail impacts that can void your shingle warranty to lifted shingles that create entry points for water. We document everything with photographic evidence, creating a robust report to support your hail damage claims. If your roof has been severely compromised, we offer Emergency Roof Tarping services to prevent further water damage to your home's interior while you navigate the insurance claims process. We understand the urgency of a post-storm inspection and work efficiently to help you secure your property and begin the path to restoration, ensuring all work complies with the stringent Florida Building Code.

Leak Detection & Moisture Intrusion Services

Water is a home's worst enemy, and even a small leak can lead to widespread, expensive damage over time. Our advanced Leak Detection Services are designed to find the exact source of moisture intrusion before it escalates. We employ cutting-edge Infrared Roof Inspection technology, using thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature anomalies caused by trapped moisture beneath the surface of your roof. This non-invasive method allows us to pinpoint hidden leaks without destructive testing. We thoroughly examine common problem areas like roof flashing, valleys, and plumbing vents, as well as the soffit and fascia for signs of water damage. Whether you're dealing with ponding water on a flat roof or a mysterious ceiling stain, our meticulous process ensures we find the root cause, enabling effective water damage repair and protecting your home from mold, rot, and structural decay.
