How a Willow Grove roof repair works
First we find the cause. Water runs along wood before it drips, so we check the roof above the stain and the area uphill from it.
Then we fix the real problem. That may be a new pipe boot, new step flashing where the roof meets a wall, resealed chimney flashing, or a few new shingles nailed in the right spot.
You get photos before and after so you can see what was done.
The most common leak spots
Pipe boots are rubber collars around plumbing vents. Sun cracks them over time, and water slips in around the pipe.
Roof-to-wall joints need step flashing under each row of shingles. Caulk alone is not a real fix.
Valleys carry a lot of water. Worn shingles or metal in a valley can leak fast in heavy rain.
Emergency leaks and storm damage
If water is coming in now, call. A tarp or quick patch protects the home until a full repair can be done in dry weather.
Take dated photos before anything is moved. They help plan the repair and help if you talk to your insurance company.
Repair now, or plan a new roof?
One leak on a healthy roof is a repair. Many leaks on a worn-out roof usually point to a replacement. A roof inspection with photos helps you decide without guessing.
