Roof repair that finds where the water gets in

Request a callback

In the valley a repair call usually has a short suspect list. Wind takes the ridge caps and edge courses first. Flashing around chimneys and vent pipes gives up before the shingles do. Pipe boots crack under the UV-and-freeze cycle and leak straight into the attic. Ice dams on foothill and north-facing roofs back water under the eave courses.

The part that takes the longest to find

Water almost never drips in directly under where it got in. It rides the sheathing and rafters and shows up in a bedroom ceiling ten feet from the entry point. A roofer who quotes the spot you can see without looking for the path is quoting a patch, not a repair. The callback should start with where the water travels, not where it lands.

When repair is the wrong call

If the shingles themselves are at end of life, a repair buys a season before the same bill returns. A roof where the south face is already bare of granules is a replacement waiting for its date. The roofer covering your town will tell you which side of that line your roof sits on.

What to describe in the request

Where the water shows, when it started, and what the roof looks like from the ground. A photo of the stain and the section of roof above it moves the diagnosis a full step forward before anyone climbs a ladder.
