The stain is rarely under the hole

Water gets in at one spot, then runs along the decking, rafters or the top of the insulation before it shows up on a ceiling. That is why we start in the attic and on the roof, not at the stain, and why a dab of sealant over the wet spot usually fails.

Where you see water, and where it usually starts

What you see insideCommon sources we check
Stain near a chimney or fireplace wallStep and counter flashing, chimney crown, mortar joints
Ring around a bathroom fan or plumbing ventCracked or failed pipe boot, loose vent cap
Drip around a skylightSkylight flashing, the seal around the unit, shingles above it
Stain where two roof slopes meetValley shingles or metal, debris holding water in the valley
Water at an upstairs wall below a roof sectionWall (headwall or sidewall) flashing, siding-to-roof transitions
Leak only in wind-driven rainLifted or missing shingles, ridge cap, gaps at roof edges
Stain along an outside wall or soffitGutters backing up, drip edge, rotted fascia or decking at the eave
Wet spot on a flat or low-slope sectionSeams and penetrations; see flat roof repair in Raleigh

What to do before we get there

  1. Move belongings and put a bucket or towels under the drip.
  2. If a ceiling is bulging with water, keep people away from it.
  3. Take photos of the stain and any damage outside. They help with any insurance claim.
  4. Stay off the roof, especially when it is wet.
  5. Call (919) 794-5754 during office hours, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. For storm damage we can tarp an active leak to protect the home until a permanent repair is made. See emergency roof repair in Raleigh.

How we repair a Raleigh roof leak

  1. Free inspection. Attic and roof, tracing the water to where it gets in.
  2. Photos and a written scope before any work starts.
  3. Repair at the source: flashing, pipe boots, shingles, valleys or decking, with materials matched as closely as possible.
  4. An honest outlook on the rest of the roof. If the roof is near the end of its life we will say so, but we are a repair-first roofer and there is no pressure to replace.

Why Raleigh roofs leak

Triangle summers bring strong thunderstorms with wind-driven rain, and the area's many hardwoods and pines drop limbs, needles and leaves that clog valleys and gutters. Sun and heat age rubber pipe boots and sealants. Most leaks we see trace back to one of those: storm-lifted shingles, a clogged valley or gutter, or a worn boot or flashing.

Local proof

Storm leaks and insurance

If wind, hail or a fallen limb caused the leak, your homeowner's policy may help. We document the damage with photos and will meet any insurance adjuster on site. Your policy and your adjuster decide what is covered; we will not promise a claim outcome. See storm damage and roof insurance claims in Raleigh.

Frequently asked questions

How do you find where my roof is leaking?

We inspect the attic and the roof and trace the water back to where it enters, which is often several feet from the ceiling stain. You get photos and a written scope before any work.

Can a roof leak be repaired without replacing the roof?

Usually, yes. Most leaks come from one spot such as flashing, a pipe boot, a valley or a few shingles. We are a repair-first roofer and will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What should I do if my roof is leaking right now?

Catch the water, move belongings, take photos and stay off the roof. Call (919) 794-5754 during office hours, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. For storm damage we can tarp an active leak until a permanent repair is made.

What does a roof leak repair cost in Raleigh?

It depends on what failed and how much of the roof is affected. Inspections and estimates are free, and you get the scope in writing first. Flexible financing is available.

Will insurance pay for my roof leak?

If wind, hail or a fallen limb caused it, your homeowner's policy may help. We document the damage and meet the adjuster; your policy and adjuster decide coverage.

Do you fix leaks in towns outside Raleigh?

Yes. Our Raleigh branch serves the Triangle, including Cary, Apex, Durham, Garner, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Morrisville, Wendell, Rolesville and Clayton.
