Roof leak repair that finds the actual source
A ceiling stain rarely sits right below where water's getting in — we trace the path before we patch anything.

Why leaks are harder to find than to fix
Water doesn't travel straight down. It runs along rafters, follows nail lines, pools on top of insulation, and shows up on your ceiling nowhere near the actual breach in the roof. A repair that only addresses the visible stain leaves the real entry point open for the next rain.
Flashing failures
Chimney, vent pipe and skylight flashing are the most common leak points on GTA roofs, often from sealant that's dried and cracked.
Ice dam backup
Meltwater backed up behind an ice dam can push under shingles well above the eave line.
Nail pops and lifted shingles
Wind off the lake or a hard freeze-thaw cycle can lift tabs just enough to let wind-driven rain in.
Valley wear
Valleys carry the most water on a sloped roof and wear out faster than the open field.
A stain on the ceiling is old news by the time you see it
Drywall and paint hide water for a while before a stain appears. In the GTA, that lag often spans a freeze-thaw cycle or two, which means the entry point has likely been opening and closing with temperature swings the whole time. Ignoring it doesn't make it smaller — it makes the deck underneath wetter and weaker.
We trace, confirm, then repair
That means checking the roof above and around the stain's location, looking at attic framing for water trails, and testing suspect areas before cutting into anything. Once we've confirmed the source, we repair flashing, shingles or membrane as needed and check that the deck underneath hasn't been compromised.

Why contact us for a leak
A patched symptom isn't a fixed leak.
We trace before we patch
Fixing the visible spot without finding the source just delays the next leak.
Attic-level checking
We look at framing and insulation, not just the roof surface.
Climate-aware diagnosis
We know how ice damming and freeze-thaw create leaks that don't match the stain location.
Written findings
You get an explanation of what caused it, not just an invoice.
GTA-wide response

Roof leak repair questions
Why does the leak show up somewhere different than where I think the damage is?
Water travels along the roof deck and rafters before dripping down, so the stain on your ceiling is often several feet from the actual breach in the roof. That's why we trace the path rather than just patching under the stain.
Can a small leak really cause much damage?
Yes — a slow leak through a GTA winter means repeated freeze-thaw cycling on wet wood, which accelerates deck rot compared to a dry deck. Small leaks left alone tend to get more expensive, not less.
Do you repair leaks on flat roofs too?
Yes, membrane leaks on flat and low-slope roofs are common work for us, and the same source-tracing approach applies.
What should I do while waiting for repair?
If it's actively dripping, a bucket and moving anything valuable out of the drip path is reasonable. Email us photos and we'll advise on urgency.
Will you check for damage beyond the leak itself?
Yes, we look at deck and insulation condition around the source so you know if there's follow-up work needed, like a section of deck replacement.
