Professional Roof Leak Repair
Roof leak repair locates and fixes the source of water intrusion—often a more complex task than it appears. Water travels along rafters and sheathing before dripping through ceilings, so leak location rarely indicates source location.
Our systematic approach traces leaks to their source using water testing, infrared imaging, and methodical inspection. We then provide permanent repairs addressing root cause rather than symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it hard to find leak sources?
Water enters at one point but travels along rafters, decking, and insulation before emerging inside. A ceiling stain may be 10+ feet from actual roof penetration. Systematic tracing is required.
Can small leaks wait?
No. Small leaks cause progressive damage to insulation, sheathing, framing, and drywall. Mold can begin within 48 hours. Small repair costs become major reconstruction when delayed.
How do you verify the repair worked?
Water testing after repair simulates heavy rain at the repaired area. We also follow up after the next significant rain to verify long-term success.
