It's always a good idea to have your roof checked at least once a year. But, many people choose to do it twice a year. It helps to have an inspection checklist. The list is for finding things like dirt, debris, water stains, rust or mold. Checking your roof right after it rains is also a smart move. This way, you can see if there are any leaks or water damage.
Roof assessment falls into four categories, and the cost varies for each.
1. Checking Your Own Roof's Condition
Between $100 to $350
This is for when you just want to inquire how your roof is doing.
2. Buying or Selling a House
Between $240 to $480
Those people who are buying or selling a house need a report to show the condition of the roof to the buyer or seller.
3. Disputes Over Roof Work
Between $450 to $850
You need it when you have a problem with the work someone did on your roof. Maybe they damaged it or did a bad job. You get a detailed report from us to take to the government authorities to help with your claim.
4. New Building with Bad Roofing Work
Between $600 to $850
This is for new buildings where the roof wasn't done well. You receive a detailed- document from us to show government authorities what needs fixing. If you need us to represent you in court as an expert witness, there's an extra charge for that.
The cost also depends on things like:
If the house has one or two stories.
If it's a big or small property.
If it's for a commercial or residential building.
How long the inspection will take.
If there's a leak that's hard to find.
The main goal of examining your roof is to save you from big worries and unexpected expenses. Picture this: a heavy rainstorm hits, and suddenly you're rushing around with buckets to catch dripping water from a leaky roof.
Or you're trying to sleep, but you're kept awake, worried about that creak or drip sound from above. If these issues aren't caught early, you might end up needing emergency repairs, which can be really expensive, sometimes costing 3-5 times more than regular repairs.
Our roof assessment catches the small things - a loose tile, a tiny leak, a bit of wear and tear - before they become big, costly emergencies. It's about giving you peace of mind, knowing your roof is solid over your head.
Yes, flat roofs do need more care compared to sloped roofs. Here's why: On a sloped roof, rainwater easily runs off down the sides. But on a flat roof, water doesn't have anywhere to go. So, it tends to collect or stand on the roof. When it rains or gets windy, things like leaves and dirt can also pile up on a flat roof. Because of this, flat roofs need regular checks and cleaning to make sure the water and debris don't cause any damage over time.
No, a roof leak won't fix itself or get better automatically. If a leak starts, it usually keeps getting worse. The water keeps coming in, making things more wet. This causes lots of problems, like mold, which isn't good for your health.
You will see water spots on your walls and ceilings. Another big worry is the water reaching electrical wires. This is really dangerous because it might start a fire. So, it's important to fix a roof leak as soon as you notice it, instead of waiting for it to stop on its own.
Absolutely. Our roof plumbers are registered and licensed with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) to do roof assessment reports of all kinds. You can go to our website’s homepage and check the name of anybody coming to your house. We have this cool feature to help you know if the person at your premises is legally allowed to do that specific job or not.
Also, when we are on your roof, everything our team does is insured. This means if something unexpected happens while we're checking your roof, don't worry – our insurance has got it covered. HolyMess Repairs takes full ownership of the work from start to finish.
Yes, we provide the necessary documentation and work details for your insurance claim process. Sometimes, insurance companies make it hard to file a claim. With all their questions and tight deadlines, it might feel like they're trying to avoid paying what you rightfully deserve. But don't worry, we've prepared 100s of roof reports and have the process down to a science. Every report we create clearly outlines what needs to be done to fix your property. It ensures you can make a legitimate claim with your insurer.
1. Visual Method: Our inspection team climbs up and looks at your roof. They walk around and check each part closely. They look for things like broken tiles, loose shingles, or cracks. This method is good for seeing problems that are easy to spot with eyes.
2. Drone Footage: With drone footage, we use a small flying drone with a camera. The drone flies over your roof and takes videos and pictures. It helps us see the whole roof without missing any spots. Drones are really good for checking hard-to-reach places or tall roofs.
3. Thermal Imaging Camera: This is a cool tool that helps us see where heat is escaping from your roof. It shows different temperatures in different colors. So, if there's a leak, it'll show up on the camera because the temperature will be different in that spot. It's like having x-ray vision for heat!
4. Dye Method: This method is quite clever. We sprinkle a special dye powder on your roof and then pour water over it. When we think we know where the leak is, we go underneath and use a small camera to look at it. The camera lets us see where the dye has traveled with the water. We follow a colorful trail that leads us right to the source of the leak.
5. Coil/Snake Camera: Imagine a tiny camera on the end of a long, flexible wire. That's our coil camera. If we need to, we make a small hole in your wall and slide this camera through. It lets us see inside the wall without having to make a big opening.
