Key Benefits of Choosing HEP for Roof Inspections

Why Regular Roof Inspections Matter

Tennessee’s weather can turn from sunny skies to severe thunderstorms in a single afternoon. Regular roof inspections help property owners stay ahead of unexpected damage, extending roof life and preventing minor issues from escalating into expensive repairs.

Critical Issues Caught Early by HEP

• Hidden moisture beneath shingles or metal panels
• Uplift or displacement caused by high winds or tornado activity
• Granule loss on asphalt shingles, signaling accelerated wear
• Rust, corrosion, or loose fasteners on metal roofing systems
• Compromised flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vent stacks

Not every roofing problem announces itself with a visible leak. HEP recommends scheduling an inspection if you notice any of the following:

• Shingles that appear curled, cracked, or missing
• Dark streaks or moss growth indicating trapped moisture
• Sagging areas or soft spots when walking in the attic
• Sudden spikes in cooling or heating bills
• Recent hail, heavy snowfall, or windstorm events in your area
