Home / Leak tracing & roof repair
Wise Built Roofing · AZ ROC 369021
Roof leak repair in Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler and the Phoenix Valley.
A stain on the ceiling rarely sits right under the problem. We trace the leak to its source before we fix anything, and if a repair will hold, we tell you and stop there.
Where roof leaks usually start
- Worn underlayment under tile roofs, the most common cause in the Valley
- Flashing at chimneys, walls, skylights and valleys that has rusted, lifted or separated
- Pipe and vent penetrations where boots and sealant have cracked in the sun
- Cracked, slipped or missing tiles, or wind-lifted shingles after a monsoon
- Flat roof sections with ponding water, failing parapets or leaks around AC curbs
How we find and fix a leak
We get on the roof and into the attic, follow the water path, and photograph what we find. You get a written report that shows the source, the cause and your options. When a targeted repair will hold, that is what we recommend. When the problem is wider, such as underlayment worn across the roof, we tell you that plainly and show you why.
What to do while you wait
Move valuables away from the drip, catch water with a bucket, and if a ceiling is bulging with water, keep people clear of it. Take photos of the damage for your records and for insurance. Then call us at (480) 852-4800.
Questions homeowners ask
Why does my roof only leak during monsoon storms?
Monsoon rain often comes sideways with strong wind, which pushes water past tile and into weak spots in the underlayment and flashing that a gentle rain never reaches.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is usually the right call. If leaks keep coming back or the underlayment is brittle across the roof, re-underlayment or replacement costs less over time. We put that recommendation in writing with photos.
Do you repair flat and foam roofs?
We repair flat and low-slope roofs. For spray foam roofs we re-coat and maintain them; we do not install or replace foam roofs.
