Roof Leak Repair in Charlotte, NC
Water on the ceiling rarely comes in right above the stain. We trace roof leaks to the real source, stop them and check the attic for the damage the water left behind.
Finding the Leak Is Most of the Job
Water runs along rafters, decking and pipes before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling can be several feet from where the roof is actually open. We check the attic side and the roof side together to find the entry point.
The usual culprits around Charlotte are flashing at chimneys and walls, cracked pipe boots, nail pops, valleys, skylights and shingles lifted by wind-driven rain. Once we find the source, we repair it properly rather than smearing sealant over it.
Because we also do attic insulation and mold remediation, we check what the leak left behind: wet insulation, stained or soft decking and any mold starting on the wood. If the leak came from a storm, see storm damage and insurance claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my roof leaking?
The most common causes are failed flashing around chimneys and walls, cracked pipe boots, missing or lifted shingles, worn valleys and nail pops. Age and storm damage make all of these more likely.
Is a roof leak an emergency?
An active leak should be dealt with quickly, because water damages insulation, drywall and decking and can lead to mold. We prioritize active leaks.
Why is the stain not under the leak?
Water travels along rafters and decking before it drips, so the ceiling stain is often several feet from where the roof is open. That is why we inspect from the attic as well as the roof.
Does insurance cover a leaking roof?
If the leak comes from sudden storm or wind damage, it is often covered. Leaks from age and wear usually are not. We can document storm damage for your claim.
Can a leak cause mold?
Yes. A slow leak can keep decking and insulation wet long enough for mold to grow. We check for it and handle remediation if needed.
Do I need a new roof if it leaks?
Not necessarily. Many leaks are fixed with a targeted repair. We recommend replacement only when leaks are widespread or the roof is worn out.
