Infrared scanning on a Hidden Meadows commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
Most roof coverings in Hidden Meadows fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Second-storey additions in Hidden Meadows create a junction between old and new roof covering that needs done right flashing rather than sealant. Streets in Hidden Meadows that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block.
