Failed flashing
Metal flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents rusts, lifts, or pulls away — one of the most common entry points for water.
Roof Leak Repair
A drip in the ceiling rarely sits directly below the hole in your roof — water travels before it falls. We trace every leak back to its true source, dry the affected area, and seal it properly so it stays fixed.
Where leaks start
Common causes of roof leaks
Leaks rarely come from the open field of the roof. More often, they start at the seams, penetrations, and edges where water finds its way in.
Cracked or missing shingles
Age, sun, and wind crack and dislodge shingles, exposing the underlayment and decking beneath to every rainfall.
Worn pipe boots & seals
The rubber boots that seal plumbing vents dry out and crack over time, letting water run straight down the pipe into your home.
Clogged or damaged gutters
When gutters overflow or back up, water pools at the roof edge and works its way under the shingles and into the fascia.
Valley & seam failures
Roof valleys channel huge volumes of water. When their seals fail, leaks follow fast — often appearing far from the valley itself.
Condensation & ventilation
Poor attic ventilation lets moisture build up and drip like a leak — a problem we identify so you don’t pay to chase a hole that isn’t there.
The detective work
How we find the real source
This is where experience pays off. Water entering at one point can travel several feet along the decking, rafters, or insulation before it shows up on your ceiling. Chasing the stain instead of the source is why so many leak “repairs” fail.
- Interior tracing. We start where the water shows and follow it back up through the attic toward the point of entry.
- Roof-surface inspection. We examine flashing, penetrations, valleys, and shingles for the failure that’s letting water in.
- Moisture & stain mapping. We read water trails and check for trapped moisture to confirm the path before we open anything up.
- Targeted water testing. When the source is elusive, we run a controlled water test to pinpoint the exact entry point — no guesswork.
Our process
How we fix it for good
Finding the leak is only half the job. A lasting repair means drying out what’s wet and sealing the source the right way.
Locate
We pinpoint the true entry point so we’re repairing the cause, not just the symptom.
Dry out
We address trapped moisture in the decking and insulation to prevent rot and mold from setting in.
Repair & seal
We replace failed materials — shingles, flashing, boots, or sealant — and weatherproof the area.
Verify
We test the repair to confirm the leak is gone before we consider the job done.
Don’t wait
Why a small leak can’t wait
It’s tempting to put a bucket under a slow drip and deal with it later. But behind the ceiling, even a minor leak is quietly doing expensive damage every time it rains.
- Soaked insulation loses its R-value and drives up energy bills
- Wet framing and decking begin to rot, weakening the roof structure
- Mold can take hold in 24–48 hours, becoming a health and cleanup issue
- Water near wiring and fixtures creates a real electrical hazard
Catching a leak early keeps the repair simple. Let it run, and a quick fix can turn into a ceiling, insulation, and structural job.
Questions & answers
Roof leak repair FAQs
Because water travels. Once it gets past the roof surface, it follows the slope of the decking and the path of rafters and insulation until it finds a low point to drip from. That’s why finding the true source — not just the stain — is the most important part of a lasting repair.
Yes. We read water stains and trails, inspect the usual failure points, and check the attic for moisture. When a leak is hard to reproduce, we run a controlled water test on the roof to recreate the conditions and pinpoint exactly where it gets in.
Usually not. Most leaks are isolated failures — a cracked boot, lifted flashing, or a few bad shingles — that we can repair affordably. If we find widespread deterioration, we’ll tell you honestly and walk you through replacement options. No upselling.
Because we repair the actual source and verify the fix with testing, our leak repairs are built to last — and they’re backed by our workmanship warranty. The most common reason leaks recur is a repair aimed at the symptom instead of the source, which is exactly what we avoid.
