Roof Leak Repair Services

Both shingle and tile roofs can develop cracked or broken shingles or tiles with time. Even one cracked or missing shingle can leave your home vulnerable to a roof leak. This is because water is constantly moving and will always find the path of least resistance. If water is able to seep through an exposed area of your roof, it will infiltrate your underlayment and your roof deck, potentially leading to rot.

This thin metal sheeting prevents water infiltration and is installed along all your roofing intersections, chimneys, ducts, and exterior wall joints. The sealant around your flashing can dry out and crack, causing your flashing to lift. This makes your joints vulnerable to water leaks. Along with flashing, we commonly find clogged gutter systems, which cause a water backup under your roof’s edge. This can cause stagnant water to rot your eaves and fascia boards.

We find frequent cases of aging or inferior underlayment. Over time your underlayment becomes extremely thin and brittle, leaving it vulnerable. There are also substandard products on the market that don’t offer the longevity that quality brands do. It’s imperative to have a good-quality roofing underlayment installed, as this creates your roof deck’s first line of defense against water infiltration.

Damaged shingles and tiles are seldom repaired and most commonly replaced. Due to their small footprint, it’s best to replace them with a new shingle or tile to ensure a tight, waterproof fit. Our experienced team will remove all damaged tiles or shingles and methodically install replacement tiles and shingles to spec.

A sagging or depressed roof is most likely caused by water damage to your roof framing. In the event of damaged framing, we will carefully remove all the materials and replace the damaged framing before reinstalling your roof covering. In severe cases, you may require a new roof entirely.

As a trusted roofing contractor, you can leave your roofing details to us. We repair and replace cracked or rusted flashing while replacing damaged boots around your vents. We’ll reseal any deteriorating skylights and chimneys and swap out old and rusted fasteners with high-quality, new fasteners. Additionally, we’ll check your guttering systems and replace any segments that are damaged and prone to leaking.

Flat roofs are prone to water pooling or ponding, which is a substantial risk that can lead to water infiltration. Membrane failure, and even structural damage. Our flat roof inspection service will clear any water pooling, repair any damage, and correct the affected area to prevent further pooling. We use high-quality membrane materials.

On flat roofs, we specialize in all repair or replacement requirements for TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and BUR surfaces. We’ll always do what we can to repair your existing roof, but if a roof membrane is too far gone, then we’ll recommend a replacement.

For more complex commercial membrane leaks, we may need to investigate more thoroughly to locate the source of a leak. In certain cases, we use thermal imaging technology to detect any trapped water under your roof membrane. Thermographic inspections allow us to detect insulation issues by measuring temperature fluctuations. If we locate a pocket of trapped moisture, we’ll carefully open up the membrane to expose the affected area. We’ll then clear out the moisture and resurface the affected area and rectify any leaks. The key is to apply a high-quality waterproofing layer on top to prevent any further sub-membrane leaks.

Commercial roofs can contain a substantial amount of flashing. This is because lower-sloped or flat roofs are more susceptible to water pooling and require specialized flashings. Other penetrations can include HVAC units, exhaust fans, and skylights, all of which require joint maintenance. At ABC Roofing Corp., we repair off commercial roof joints, including curbs, vents, and parapet walls. We’ll give your roofing joints a once-over to remove any risks of water leaks.

For both residential and commercial roof leaks, we offer comprehensive leak detection services. Whether you are investing in a routine roofing inspection or you have a water leak, we’ll promptly begin a full rooftop inspection as part of your roof leak repair. As part of our inspection, we’ll inspect your roof covering, flashing, and gutters, as well as conduct an attic inspection. Our inspection also includes a structural integrity test of your roof. Once we locate vulnerable spots and any leaks, we’ll bring these to your attention and recommend the best course of action.
