We use a moisture meter and an infrared thermal camera to follow that path before we touch a shingle.

Attic and roof inspection using a moisture meter, infrared thermal camera and hose test kit to confirm the exact entry point. We do not start repairs until we know where the water is coming from.
Replacement of failed flashing, pipe boots, shingles or sealant, using GAF, Owens Corning and Grace Ice & Water Shield materials matched to your roof type and pitch.
We clear clogged gutters and check downpipe connectors, because backed-up water at the roof edge is one of the most common causes of ceiling stains in Aberdeen.

A brown stain had spread across roughly 6 square feet of kitchen ceiling over two months. The homeowner had patched the ceiling once, but the leak returned on the next storm. A cracked pipe boot on the roof was the real source.
We replaced the pipe boot, resealed the penetration and cut out the damaged drywall. New drywall, texture match and stain-blocking primer left the ceiling looking original. No drip through the following rainy season.
Water was dripping through a bedroom ceiling at 10pm during a storm. The homeowner had a bucket under it and was worried about the ceiling fan. Wind had lifted shingles along the roof edge and torn the flashing.
We tarped the roof within the hour to stop the water, then returned two days later to replace the shingles and flashing. The ceiling was dried, repaired and repainted. Total interior damage stayed under 4 square feet.
A slow leak had been staining the ceiling near the chimney for months. The homeowner could not find the source and assumed the roof needed replacing. Thermal imaging showed the leak was isolated to the chimney flashing.
We rebuilt the chimney flashing and counter-flashing, replaced the wet insulation and repaired the ceiling. The repair cost a fraction of a roof replacement and stopped the leak completely.

“We had a brown stain spreading across the kitchen ceiling for weeks. Two other guys wanted to just paint over it. These folks went up in the attic, found a cracked pipe boot, replaced it and patched the drywall. No drip since, and we have had some serious rain. Fair price and they cleaned up after themselves.”
