Find it. Fix it.
A ceiling stain rarely sits directly below the roof entry point. We trace the water path, inspect flashing and penetrations, and show you what failed before recommending a repair.

Common homeowner questions
Common causes include failed pipe boots, lifted shingles, cracked flashing, open nail holes, valley problems, chimney or wall transitions and wind damage. The interior stain may appear several feet away from the actual roof entry point.
Move belongings away from active water, use a container where it is safe, photograph what you can see and avoid climbing onto a wet or damaged roof. If water is near electrical fixtures or the ceiling is sagging, treat it as a safety issue first.
A repair can be the right answer when the failure is isolated and the surrounding roof still has useful life. If leaks appear in different areas or the shingle field is worn out, replacement may offer a cleaner long-term path.
Missing shingles, creased tabs, lifted edges, exposed fasteners and new leaks after wind or hail should be documented promptly. A roofing inspection can help separate storm damage from age, maintenance or previous repair issues.
