What does “quality roof leak repair” mean to you?
We don’t “plug leaks”; we solve problems so they don’t reoccur. We specialize in roof repair, and won’t stop at stop-gap repair.

• You will know the water can’t get in any more.
• You will know that any insulation or structural damage has been repaired.
• You will know the workmanship and materials will be warrantied, where possible.

You will also know how to get maximum settlement from insurance, if the roof leak is an insurance issue. The owner of our company is an insurance claim expert, who is on your side from beginning to the end of the claims process.

Many people think that once a roofing inspector discovers a problem, the next step has to be an entirely new roof. In fact, many a roof leak can be professionally mended.

What to do when you discover a problem:

1. Call us quickly. You should also move furniture, appliances, and anything else that might be damaged by water. Drape plastic sheeting where you can. Use pails and garbage cans to catch water.
2. Please stay off your roof! You may only damage it further. You may hurt yourself. If you must, take a look from the top of a ladder.
3. Don’t set up electrical heaters to try to dry things out, especially in an attic or crawlspace. If you don’t know where the water is coming from, you can’t keep electricity and water apart.

A roof leak is seldom directly above the place you’ve spotted moisture. The problem may be eight to ten feet from the visible damage.

It may not be the shingles, tile or metal.
Valleys in the roof are where two roof planes intersect. These areas are usually covered with sheet metal strips, called “flashing”. Water can travel along a valley and get inside your house.

Flashing can come loose in wind or with the natural settling of your house. Your roof will have flashing where it meets a vertical wall (for instance where a second story meets the ground level garage roof).

You have flashing around plumbing vents, furnace vents, and skylights. Plumbing vent flashings may have rubber seals, which can fail in only 10 years.

Chimneys involve four different types of flashing, and if any one of them fails, you will have a leak.

It could be a window or skylight issue. The problem could be siding, or gutters. Count on expert diagnosis and full-service repair. Gutter experts are on our staff, too.
