Finding Where the Water Is Really Coming From in Marietta Homes
Here's what surprises most Marietta homeowners about roof leaks: the spot where water shows up on your ceiling is rarely directly below where it enters your roof. Water travels along rafters, runs down sheathing, and follows unexpected paths before it finally drips through to where you see it. That's why fixing a roof leak starts with finding the real entry point, not just patching the stain. We've tracked down leaks across Marietta for years and know the usual suspects -- failed flashing around chimneys and vents, worn-out seals at pipe boots, cracked shingles, and valleys where debris dams up water. Once we know where water is getting in, we fix it with materials and methods that last.
Advanced Leak Detection Technology
Our leak detection goes beyond visual inspection. We use infrared thermography to identify moisture and temperature variations invisible to the naked eye, electronic moisture meters for precise readings in roofing materials, and systematic water testing to confirm entry points. This detective work is what separates a repair that lasts from one that fails in the next rainstorm. We trace moisture paths from inside the attic when possible, checking every flashing joint, pipe boot, vent, and transition area.
Fast Response When Water Is Actively Coming In
When water is dripping onto your floors or running down your walls, you need help now -- not an appointment next week. We understand roof leaks are emergencies that get worse every hour. We get to your Marietta home quickly, stop active water intrusion with temporary measures if needed, and then work on the permanent fix. Our trucks carry tarps, sealants, flashing materials, and common repair supplies so we handle most leak situations on the first visit.
Flashing Leaks Around Chimneys, Vents, and Skylights
Flashing failure is the most common leak source on Marietta homes: Flashing seals the gaps where chimneys, plumbing vents, and skylights penetrate your roof. Over time, Georgia's temperature swings cause metal to expand and contract until gaps develop. Chimney flashing is especially prone to failure because masonry and roofing materials move at different rates. Flashing leak repair services: - Chimney flashing - Complete step and counter-flashing replacement with proper integration - Pipe boot replacement - Full boot replacement rather than patching cracked rubber - Vent flashing - Proper seal restoration around HVAC, plumbing, and exhaust penetrations - Skylight flashing - Resealing and reflashing around skylight curbs and frames - Drip edge repair - Replacement of damaged or missing drip edge along roof perimeter
Shingle Damage and Roof Surface Leak Repairs
Addressing damaged shingles and the underlayment beneath them: Cracked, missing, or lifted shingles let water through, but what's underneath matters just as much. When we repair shingle-related leaks, we check the underlayment and decking beneath to make sure water hasn't caused hidden damage that would compromise the repair. Shingle leak repair services: - Shingle replacement - Matching brand, style, and color to your existing roof - Underlayment inspection - Verification that the waterproof barrier is intact beneath shingles - Decking evaluation - Checking for soft spots, rot, or moisture damage in roof sheathing - Section repairs - Larger area replacement when surrounding shingles are also deteriorating - Storm damage repairs - Wind-lifted, hail-damaged, and impact-damaged shingle restoration
Valley and Gutter-Line Leak Repairs
Targeting high-water-volume areas where leaks concentrate: Roof valleys where two sloped sections meet handle concentrated water flow and are prime leak locations, especially on Marietta homes with complex rooflines. Debris accumulates in valleys, trapping moisture against roofing material and causing premature wear and failure. Valley and edge leak services: - Valley flashing repair - Proper flashing installation with adequate overlap for water volume - Debris dam removal - Clearing accumulated leaves and debris that trap moisture in valleys - Gutter-line sealing - Fixing water intrusion where gutters attach along the roof edge - Ice dam prevention - Addressing vulnerable areas where ice dam backup causes interior leaks - Drip edge integration - Ensuring proper water flow from roof surface into gutter system
Storm and Weather-Related Roof Leak Repairs
Repairing leaks caused by Georgia's severe weather patterns: Storms create leaks suddenly -- wind lifts shingles, hail punctures surfaces, falling branches rip through roofing. But weather-related leaks also develop gradually as years of rain, sun, and temperature cycling wear down your roof's defenses. We handle both situations across Marietta. Weather-related leak services: - Post-storm leak repair - Rapid response to stop water intrusion after severe weather events - Hail damage restoration - Repairing punctured and compromised shingles after hailstorms - Wind damage repair - Replacing lifted, creased, or missing shingles from high winds - Insurance documentation - Detailed photos and assessments for weather damage claims - Preventive reinforcement - Strengthening vulnerable areas to resist future storm damage
