Leaking Roof Repair in Reno That Gets It Done Fast
A leaking roof is an emergency even when the drip is small. Water that gets past your roof covering soaks insulation, rots decking and framing, stains drywall and creates the damp conditions mold loves. The sooner the leak is stopped, the smaller (and cheaper) the repair.
The difficult part of leak repair is that the stain on your ceiling is rarely directly below the hole in your roof. Water follows rafters, ducts and wiring before it shows itself. Our technicians trace leaks back to the true entry point instead of just slapping sealant on the nearest spot, so the fix actually lasts.
Where roof leaks in Reno usually come from
Failed flashing
Chimney, skylight, wall and valley flashing that has lifted, rusted or lost its seal is the number one leak source.
Cracked vent boots and pipe seals
Sun-baked rubber splits and lets water run straight down the pipe.
Missing or damaged shingles
Wind lifts shingles and exposes the underlayment, which is not meant to be the final barrier.
Ice and snow melt
Freeze-thaw cycles and ice dams push meltwater under shingles at the eaves.
Aging flat-roof membranes
Seams, ponding water and blisters on flat roofs let water in over time.
Exposed or backed-out fasteners
Nail pops create small but steady entry points, especially after temperature swings.
What to do right now if your roof is leaking
Move valuables and furniture out of the way, place a bucket under the drip and, if the ceiling is bulging with water, carefully poke a small hole to let it drain into a bucket. Take photos for your records, which helps with any insurance claim. Then call us.
We locate the source, make the repair and, when conditions require it, install a temporary tarp or weatherproof seal so the home is protected immediately. If the leak is the result of storm damage, see our storm damage repair service.
Do not wait for the next storm to find out how bad the leak is. Small leaks are the most affordable to fix.

Leaking Roof Repair in Reno: Common Questions
Can a leaking roof be fixed in one hour?
Many leaks, such as a failed vent boot, loose flashing or a few missing shingles, can be repaired in about an hour once we are on site. More extensive damage can take longer, and we will explain this before we start.
Why does my roof leak only when it rains hard or snow melts?
Wind-driven rain and meltwater find small gaps that light rain does not. Lifted shingles, open flashing and ice dams are common reasons for leaks that appear only during heavy weather.
What should I do first if my roof is leaking?
Contain the water with buckets and move belongings out of the way, photograph the damage, and call a roofer as soon as possible. Avoid climbing onto a wet or icy roof yourself.
Can you repair a roof leak in the rain or snow?
We can often make an emergency repair or install a protective tarp in wet weather when it is safe to do so. A permanent repair may need dry conditions, and we will tell you which applies.
How do you find the source of a roof leak?
We inspect the roof surface, flashing, penetrations and attic, tracing the water path back from the stain to the entry point.
