If you’re seeing any of these issues, it’s time to act quickly:
- Water dripping from the ceiling or vents

Our experienced leak repair team at Allen Roof Repair Company will inspect your roof, find the true cause of the leak, and provide clear options to fix it as soon as possible.
Our Roof Leak Detection & Repair Process
We approach every leak like a detective case. Roof leaks can travel, hide, and show up far from where they actually start. That’s why careful, step-by-step inspection is so important.
Step 1: Initial Discussion and Surface Check
We start by talking with you:
- When did you first notice the leak or stain?
- Does it only happen during heavy rain, wind, or snow?
- Has anyone repaired this area before?
Then we perform a surface check, looking for obvious issues like:
- Missing, cracked, or curled shingles
- Exposed nail heads or fasteners working loose
- Damaged or rusted flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents
- Visible gaps, holes, or punctures in the roofing surface
This helps us quickly rule out simple causes and focus on the more hidden problems if needed.
Step 2: Attic and Interior Inspection
Next, we move inside your home or building:
- Inspecting the attic for wet spots, darkened wood, or mold
- Checking insulation for moisture and compression
- Tracing water paths along rafters, trusses, and decking
By following the trail of moisture from the inside out, we can often pinpoint leaks that don’t show up clearly from the roof surface alone.
Step 3: Detailed Roof Leak Detection
Some leaks are stubborn and only show themselves under certain conditions. For more complex cases, we use targeted methods such as:
- Section-by-section water testing to recreate the leak
- Careful inspection around all roof penetrations (vents, pipes, skylights)
- Close evaluation of valleys, transitions, and low-slope areas
Our goal is simple: find the actual source of the problem, not just treat the symptom you see inside.
Step 4: Honest Repair Recommendations
Once we locate the leak, we explain:
- What’s causing it
- How far the damage has spread
- The best repair options and expected lifespan
- Approximate costs before any work starts
You’ll know exactly what we’re going to do and why.
Common Causes of Roof Leaks We Repair
Roofs can leak for many reasons, and most of them get worse with time and weather. At Allen Roof Repair Company, we regularly fix leaks caused by:
Damaged or Missing Shingles
High winds, aging, and previous improper repairs can leave bare spots or weak points. These areas let water work its way into the underlayment and decking, eventually reaching your ceilings and walls.
We carefully remove damaged shingles, inspect the layers below, and install new materials that tie properly into the surrounding roof.
Failing Flashing and Roof Penetrations
Flashing is the metal or specialized material used where the roof meets chimneys, skylights, walls, vents, and pipes. Over time, it can:
- Crack
- Rust
- Pull away
- Lose sealant
We repair or replace failing flashing, re-seal critical areas, and ensure water flows away from these vulnerable spots.
Roof Valleys and Transitions
Where two roof slopes meet, water naturally collects and flows. If valleys are installed incorrectly or become worn, they are a common leak point.
We inspect valley metal, underlayment, and shingle patterns to ensure proper overlap and protection, then rebuild the area if necessary.
Issues Around Skylights and Chimneys
Skylights and chimneys look simple from the ground, but they are some of the most complex areas of your roof. Poor installation or old materials can lead to persistent leaks.
We:
- Check seals and flashing around the unit
- Repair or replace worn materials
- Ensure water is directed away correctly
Aging Roof Materials
Sometimes leaks are a sign that the roof is simply wearing out. Granule loss on shingles, brittle surfaces, and soft spots in the decking can all indicate broader issues.
In these cases, we’ll be honest about what we can repair in the short term and what may require larger work in the future so you can plan ahead.
What Makes Our Leak Repairs Different
You don’t just want the leak to stop today—you want it to stay fixed.
Here’s how Allen Roof Repair Company approaches leak repairs with long-term reliability in mind:
Thorough Diagnosis, Not Quick Patches
A bit of caulk or tar might stop a visible drip for a while, but it usually doesn’t address the full problem. We take the time to:
- Open up small sections if needed
- Inspect the layers below the surface
- Confirm that we’ve found the true source, not just the end result
This reduces the chance of the same area leaking again after the next heavy storm.
Use of Quality Materials
We use roofing products that are designed to stand up to local weather conditions. That means:
- Durable underlayments
- Proper flashing components
- High-quality sealants suited for roofing applications
Cheap patch materials might be tempting, but they don’t last. We prefer doing it right the first time.
Clear Communication From Start to Finish
You’ll always know:
- What we found
- What we recommend
- How long the repair should last under normal conditions
We’re happy to show photos or walk you through the roof findings so you can see exactly what’s going on.
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Not every roof problem shows up as water dripping from the ceiling. Some early warning signs include:
- Small, round stains that slowly grow over time
- Peeling paint near the ceiling
- Warped trim or baseboards
- A “sagging” look in parts of the ceiling
- Occasional musty smells after rain
If you notice any of these, it’s better to have us inspect sooner rather than later. In many cases, catching a leak early allows for a simple fix instead of major repairs.
