Roof Repair in Seattle, WA
In Seattle, a leak rarely waits for a dry day. We track down where the rain gets in, photograph it and repair it before the next storm turns it into rot.
Our roof repair in Seattle starts up on the roof. We follow the water back, photograph what we find and repair the actual cause: a shingle lifted by wind, a corroded nail, flashing pulled away from a chimney, a split vent boot or moss wicking rain under a shingle edge.
Seattle roofs rarely get a break to dry out. Between October and April, a small gap that would barely matter elsewhere can let water in for weeks at a time, so it pays to fix it properly the first time.
Rain coming through a ceiling or a light, a piece of roof opened up by wind, or a limb or tree lying on the roof. Call straight away: getting the opening covered fast saves the insulation, drywall and floors below.
Why does my roof leak only in heavy rain or wind?
The southerly winds that come with an atmospheric river drive rain sideways, under lifted shingle tabs, behind loose flashing and through split pipe boots. In ordinary drizzle those spots stay dry. We find the entry point, which is usually a few feet from the ceiling stain.
Is moss bad for my roof?
Over the years, yes. It soaks up rain and holds it on the roof, pries shingle edges up and gives water a path underneath. We clear it and replace any shingles it ruined.
Can you repair just part of my roof?
Yes. A leak, a patch of wind damage or a failed flashing is usually a local repair. If we think the fix won’t last because the roof is worn out, we say so.
Will my insurance pay for a roof repair?
Sudden damage, like a windstorm or a falling tree, may be covered. Moss, age and wear usually aren’t. We photograph and document storm damage for your claim. See our insurance claims page.
