A roof leak can allow rainwater to enter the attic, ceiling, walls, and insulation. Even a small opening around shingles, flashing, vents, or roof penetrations can cause significant interior water damage over time.
What the Job Involves
The property is inspected to identify the leak and determine how far water has traveled. Affected ceilings, drywall, insulation, flooring, and structural materials are checked for moisture and damage.
Signs You Need It
- Brown ceiling stains
- Dripping during rain
- Wet attic insulation
- Damp or swollen drywall
- Musty odors
- Peeling paint
- Water around roof penetrations
How the Work Goes
The roof leak is identified and addressed first to stop additional water intrusion. Moisture readings are taken in the attic and interior areas. Standing water is extracted when necessary, while air movers and dehumidifiers are used to dry salvageable materials. Damaged drywall, insulation, or other materials may require removal and replacement.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the location and size of the roof leak, roof accessibility, amount of interior water damage, affected materials, and extent of repairs. Hidden moisture in insulation or wall cavities can increase the work required.
