Emergency roof repair is the work between the storm and the permanent fix: tarping the breach, pulling debris off the deck, and sealing the path water is using to get inside. Most calls begin with a roof inspection to find the actual entry point.
Water rarely enters where the stain shows up. It seeps past a failed pipe boot, wicks along the underlayment, and drips from the ceiling somewhere else. On the 1950s ranches here, we often strip two old layers down to a soft deck.
We trace the leak to its source, then rebuild that section with materials this climate demands. Architectural shingle outlasts three-tab, and a self-adhered ice-and-water shield along the eave and valley stops ice dam water from backing under the course.
