Winter Storm Leak Tracing
Following a ceiling stain from a storm back up the framing to the valley, vent or flashing where the water came in, with moisture readings and photographs kept for the repair.
Each service below answers a particular kind of fault: a leak that a storm has found, a roof of a particular age, a metal covering on a rural lot or an attic that will not breathe. Each page sets out the checks that come first and the parts it does not cover.
Fastest: call (833) 751-2102. Or send this and we call you back.
The services are grouped by what a homeowner usually sees first: leaks and storms, then the roof's age and covering, then the attic, the edges and the openings. Pick the page that matches the fault in front of you, and it will say what the first visit checks.
Where a roof has more than one fault, one visit reads them all. The scope names each line, so a repair of one leak does not hide a second fault that the next storm will find.
