Empire Roofing and Construction | Roofing Services in Springfield, MO 65802

Our Springfield roof inspections go beyond a visual check from the ground. We safely assess your roof's surface for bruising, granule loss, and cracks in shingles—common signs of hail impact. We also meticulously check the roof flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys, which can be lifted or loosened by severe wind and hail, creating vulnerable spots for leaks. An early, expert inspection by Empire can document storm damage for insurance and prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs.

Lifted or compromised flashing is a primary cause of roof leaks in our area. The metal flashing seals the joints and transitions on your roof. When Springfield storms with high winds and hail lift this flashing, it breaks the waterproof seal. This allows water to directly penetrate your roof deck and attic, leading to rot, mold, and interior damage. During our roof inspection service, we pay special attention to these critical areas to ensure your home's first line of defense against Missouri weather is fully intact.

First, schedule a professional roof inspection with a local, reputable company like Empire. Avoid walking on the roof yourself, as hail-damaged shingles are brittle and unsafe. Our inspectors will provide a detailed, written report on any damage found, including photos of affected shingles and flashing. This documentation is crucial for filing an accurate insurance claim. We can then guide you through the repair or replacement process with durable materials suited for our local climate, ensuring your home is properly protected for years to come.
