What We Do

Roof leak repair specialists for homeowners and small commercial properties

Roof Leak Repair 24/7 is a roofing service built around one job: stopping the active leak, documenting the source, and leaving you with the paperwork you need if you choose to file an insurance claim. We do not knock on doors after storms. We do not push replacement quotes when a $400 vent boot solves the problem. We diagnose, we repair, we document.

Our 60-Minute Call-Back Commitment

Dial (888) 883-0860 at any hour of any day. A roof leak coordinator returns the call within 60 minutes. If we miss that 60-minute window, the on-site inspection is free of charge. This commitment exists because every hour an active leak goes unaddressed adds drywall, insulation, and framing damage that compounds the eventual repair cost.

Active Leak Stoppage

Tarping, emergency patches, and same-day temporary seals to halt water entry while a permanent repair is planned. Tarping covers 200-1,200 square feet and uses 6-mil polyethylene with 1×4 furring strips fastened to rafters — never to shingles.

Targeted Source Repair

Replacement of failed flashing, vent boots, valley underlayment, ridge cap shingles, or skylight curbs. Each repair addresses the verified leak source — confirmed with FLIR thermal imaging or Tramex moisture meter readings — not the assumed source.

Insurance Documentation

Photographs of source and damage, thermal images showing moisture migration, a written statement of probable cause, and a Xactimate-format estimate. Standard package included with every paid repair. Filed-claim assistance available on request.

Our 4-Step Process

From phone call to permanent repair in 24-72 hours

The average roof leak repair takes 4 hours of on-site work. The full timeline from initial call to repair completion runs 24 hours for straightforward leaks (vent boots, simple flashing) and up to 72 hours for complex jobs requiring custom flashing fabrication or a 2-day weather window.

Common Leak Sources

The 6 leak sources we repair on 90% of roof calls

Roof leaks rarely originate where the interior stain appears. Water enters at the failure point, runs along rafters or underlayment, and surfaces 2-12 feet from the source. Our diagnostic process identifies the actual entry point — not the visible symptom. The 6 sources below account for 90% of repairs we perform across our active service area.

Failed Vent Boots

Rubber EPDM boot collars around plumbing vent stacks crack at 8-12 years of UV exposure. The most common single leak source on asphalt-shingle roofs. Replacement cost: $350-$650 per boot.

Flashing Failures

Step flashing along sidewalls, headwall flashing above dormers, and counter-flashing on chimneys. Failure modes include rust-through on galvanized flashing, sealant failure on caulked seams, and improper installation under stucco. Repair cost: $450-$2,400.

Valley Leaks

Valleys carry the highest water volume on the roof. Open metal valleys (W-valley or California-style) can rust through; closed-cut valleys can fail when shingles slide downhill over time. Valley underlayment replacement: $800-$1,800.

Skylight Perimeter Failure

Skylight curb flashing and the perimeter sealant joint between curb and shingle. Velux and Sun-Tek skylights typically begin leaking at 15-20 years. Re-flashing: $600-$1,200; full skylight replacement with re-flash: $1,400-$2,800.

Ice Dam Damage

December through March issue in cold-climate regions. Ice dams force meltwater backwards under shingle courses, bypassing the water-shedding layer. Common on poorly-vented attics in older housing stock across the Northeast and Midwest. Repair scope varies; underlayment replacement $1,200-$3,500.

Wind-Lifted Shingles

Asphalt shingle tabs lift in 50+ mph wind events. Recent regional wind events (derechos, named tropical systems, severe thunderstorms) have created lasting underlayment exposure on millions of roofs. Targeted shingle replacement and re-sealing: $400-$1,500 per affected slope.

Insurance Documentation

The paperwork your carrier expects — without the adjuster runaround

Most U.S. homeowner insurance policies cover sudden-and-accidental water damage. Gradual deterioration is excluded. The line between the two is determined by documentation: when the leak started, what caused it, and whether the damage is the result of a discrete event (wind, hail, falling tree) or long-term wear. Major carriers including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Travelers, Farmers, USAA, Nationwide, NJM, and Plymouth Rock all require photographic evidence of the source plus a contractor's written statement.

What's included with every paid repair

1. Exterior photo set (10-20 images) showing the leak source pre-repair.
2. Interior photo set showing visible water damage and stain extent.
3. FLIR thermal images where moisture is suspected behind drywall or insulation.
4. Written source statement identifying the failure point and probable cause.
5. Xactimate-format itemized estimate for the carrier's adjuster review.

This documentation package is included at no additional cost with every repair. Carriers approve approximately 70% of properly-documented sudden-loss claims, based on industry data published by NAIC. Recovery of recoverable depreciation following repair completion is covered on RCV (Replacement Cost Value) policies — not on ACV (Actual Cash Value) policies. We explain the distinction on-site if you're uncertain which type of policy you carry.

Honest Pricing

What roof leak repair actually costs

Most roofing companies decline to publish pricing because every repair is technically unique. The averages below come from 2025-2026 jobs across our active service areas. Final quote depends on roof access, pitch, materials, regional labor rates, and parts availability, but the published ranges hold for 80% of standard residential calls.

Quote is provided in writing before any work begins. The quoted price is the final price unless additional concealed damage is discovered during repair, in which case work pauses and a revised quote is issued for your approval. No verbal-only commitments. No discovery-of-rot upcharges added at invoice time.

FAQ

Common questions about emergency roof leak repair

How fast can you get to my house for an active roof leak?

We commit to a 60-minute call-back from initial dial-in and same-day on-site assessment for any active leak reported before 2:00 PM in our active service area. After 2:00 PM, on-site arrival is scheduled for the next morning unless interior water damage is actively spreading, in which case we dispatch immediately. Saturday and Sunday dispatch operates the same as weekday dispatch. Active service areas are listed in the Service Area section above.

Do you push roof replacement?

No. Roof Leak Repair 24/7 is a leak-repair specialist. We diagnose the leak source, perform the targeted repair, and document the work for insurance if you choose to file. Full replacement is recommended only when the underlying deck or underlayment failure makes targeted repair non-viable, and the recommendation is explained on-site with photographs of the failure.

What does a typical roof leak repair cost?

Targeted leak repairs typically range from $350 for a single vent boot replacement to $2,400 for a complex chimney flashing rebuild with stucco penetration. Average cost across our 2025-2026 jobs sits at $720. Cost varies by region and specific scope; final price is confirmed in writing before any work begins and matches the final invoice unless concealed damage requires a revised quote with your approval.

Will you help with my homeowner's insurance claim?

Yes. Standard documentation included with every paid repair: exterior photo set, interior photo set, FLIR thermal images where moisture is suspected behind drywall, written source statement identifying the failure point and probable cause, and a Xactimate-format itemized estimate for the carrier's adjuster review. We supply the documentation; the decision to file the claim is yours.

Are your contractors licensed?

All work is performed by state-licensed roofing contractors in the jurisdiction where the work is performed. License numbers are displayed on every invoice and verifiable through the relevant state licensing authority — for example, the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs for NJ work, or the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries for WA work. General liability insurance ($1M minimum) and workers' compensation coverage are confirmed before any partner is dispatched.

What roofing materials do you work with?

Asphalt shingles: GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark, Atlas Pinnacle Pristine. TPO and EPDM membranes: Carlisle SynTec, Firestone Building Products, Versico, GAF EverGuard. Modified bitumen for older multi-family roofs. Underlayment: GAF Tiger Paw synthetic, GAF StormGuard ice-and-water shield. Sealants and roof cement: Henry, Karnak. Material selection adapts to regional climate and the building stock characteristics of your area.

Do you handle flat roofs?

Yes. Flat-roof and low-slope work covers TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen membranes. Common across urban brownstones, multi-family buildings, and townhomes. Diagnostic includes electronic leak detection (ELD) and infrared moisture mapping. See our flat roof repair page for full detail.

Can you tarp my roof tonight if it's actively raining?

Yes, with two conditions. Wind speed must be below 25 mph for safe tarping work, and active lightning suspends all rooftop activity until the cell passes. Tarping during rain reduces shingle adhesion of the temporary fasteners by approximately 40%, so we typically install the tarp during the next dry window — often within 4-12 hours — while interior containment (buckets, plastic sheeting, attic moisture removal) is set up immediately.
