How We Find and Fix Roof Leaks

Water rarely comes in right where the stain shows up. We start in the attic, follow the water back to where it enters, and repair the cause, not just the symptom, so the leak does not come back after the next storm.

Leak Inspections

We check the attic and the roof around the leak: flashing, valleys, vents, pipe boots, nail pops and shingles, and give you a written summary of what we found.

Shingle and Flashing Repair

We replace damaged or missing shingles, reseal or replace flashing at chimneys, walls and skylights, and replace cracked pipe boots.

Flat Roof Leak Repair

On TPO, EPDM and Duro-Last roofs we repair open seams, punctures and failed flashing, and clear the drains that let water pond.

When to Replace Instead

If leaks keep coming back, the shingles are worn across the roof or the decking is soft, a replacement costs less over time. We tell you honestly.

Signs You Have a Roof Leak

A small leak can damage insulation, ceilings and framing long before you see a drip. Watch for these signs:

Roof Leak Repair FAQs

What should I do about an active roof leak tonight?

Move valuables away from the drip, put a bucket under it and keep people away from any ceiling that is sagging with water. Do not go on the roof in the dark or in bad weather. Call (313) 600-4538; if water is still coming in after a storm, we tarp the roof to stop more damage and then schedule the repair.

How do you find where a roof leak is coming from?

Water often travels along rafters and decking before it shows on a ceiling, so the stain is rarely right below the hole. We check the attic, then the roof around the area: flashing at chimneys, walls and vents, valleys, pipe boots, nail pops and damaged shingles, or seams and drains on a flat roof, until we find the entry point.

Can a leaking roof be repaired or does it need to be replaced?

Most leaks can be repaired when the damage is limited to one area and the decking is sound. Replacement is usually the better choice when leaks keep coming back in different places, shingles are worn across the whole roof or the decking is soft or rotted. We tell you honestly which one your roof needs.

Does homeowners insurance cover roof leak repair in Michigan?

Policies generally cover sudden damage, such as wind, hail or a fallen tree, and not leaks caused by age and wear, but every policy is different. Check your policy and ask us to document the damage with photos; we will meet your adjuster on site if needed. See the roof insurance claim process in Michigan.

Do you repair leaks on flat commercial roofs?

Yes. We repair leaks on TPO, EPDM and Duro-Last flat roofs, including open seams, punctures, failed flashing and clogged drains. See commercial roofing in Detroit.
