What is a Leak FREE® Roof Certification?
A Leak FREE® Roof Certification is a formal certificate issued by a NRCIA member after he has performed a Visual ROOF® inspection of a property following the NRCIA Inspection Protocols and has determined that the roof has met the Leak FREE® Roof Certification criteria subject to its terms and conditions.
What does it cost for a Leak FREE® Roof Certification?
A Leak FREE® Roof Certification requires a Visual ROOF® inspection by a NRCIA member. This written inspection report with color photographs is typically $175, can be more for larger homes or commercial buildings. If the roof meets the Leak FREE® Roof Certification criteria then it is a total of $345 for a 2 year period. If the roof has deficiencies, it will be documented in the Visual ROOF® written Inspection Report with color photographs detailing those deficiencies. If the member is hired to make the repairs, a portion of the inspection fee is credited in the repair costs.
If the roof does not meet the Leak FREE® criteria, can anyone make the repairs?
Yes, any roofing contractor can make the repairs. However, another inspection by a NRCIA member would be required to determine if all the mandated repairs were made to meet the Leak FREE® Roof Certification criteria. This becomes costly because it sometimes takes several inspections to make sure that all the repairs are properly made.
What does a Leak FREE® Roof Certification cover?
The standard Leak FREE® Roof Certification covers repairing leaks from normal wear and tear or a leak missed by the inspector during the certification period.
What happens if a leak occurs during the Leak FREE® Certification Period?
The Leak FREE® certificate holder notifies the member who issued the certification that a leak has occurred. The member at a top priority level performs a leak inspection to determine the proximate cause of the leak for a nominal fee. If it is determined that the leak was caused by a normal wear and tear or an error on the part of the inspector, all necessary steps would be taken to stop the leak at no additional cost to the certificate holder. If there is any dispute with the member recommendations, contact the Chapter President in your area.
What about storm damage or third party damage?
The standard Leak FREE® Roof Certification does not provide coverage for "acts of God" or third party damages.
Can any roofing contractor issue a Leak FREE® Roof Certification?No! The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted the exclusive right to the NRCIA to perform Visual ROOF® Inspections and issuing Leak FREE® Roof Certifications. The NRCIA grants to its active members the right to perform inspections and issuing through its system Leak FREE® Roof Certifications.
