Start at the stain
Where water shows up inside is the end of its route, not the start. It runs along rafters, tracks under the deck and drops wherever something stops it.
Roof Leak Repair in Folsom, NJ
The hole and the stain are rarely in the same place. Working backwards from one to the other is the job, and it is the step a quick patch leaves out.
Describe the stain — (609) 301-2872 In short
The short version
A leak is the one call treated differently. Water already inside is working on insulation, plaster and framing every day, and the longer it runs the more of the repair becomes interior rather than roof.
What is covered
What the job takes in
The attic side first
The underside of the deck is the most useful surface in the building. Daylight, dark tracking and wet insulation point back up the path far better than guessing from the slope.
Then the roof
With a direction to work in the outside search is short: the nearest penetration, valley, chimney junction or lifted course above the track the water took.
Correct the cause
A smear of sealant over a symptom buys a season. Replacing the failed boot, re-forming the valley or re-flashing the junction is the repair.
Worth knowing
What to do before we arrive
Put something under the drip, move what you can, and photograph the stain each day so its spread is on record. Do not climb up to look — a wet slope is the most dangerous surface on a house, and a day's wait costs far less than a fall.
