Roof Leak Repair in Sussex County, NJ

Often, yes. Many leak repairs can be done on dry winter days once snow is cleared from the area. If conditions don’t allow a lasting repair, we secure the spot first and come back when the weather allows.

That’s typical of ice dams. Sun and attic heat melt the snow, and the water refreezes at the cold eaves, backing up under the shingles. The fix is repairing the eaves and reducing heat loss into the attic.

Yes. When gutters fill with leaves and ice, water backs up over the fascia and under the first rows of shingles. We clean and check gutters as part of the repair and tell you if they need repair or replacing.

Possibly. A heavy limb can crack shingles or the deck beneath without leaving an obvious hole, and the leak may not show until the next storm. A free inspection will tell you whether anything was damaged.

The cost depends on what caused the leak, how much shingle, flashing or decking needs replacing and how easy the area is to reach. Ice dam damage at the eaves can extend further than it looks. Estimates are free and written.

Moss holds moisture against shingles and can lift their edges, which lets wind-driven rain in. On its own it’s rarely the only cause, but it speeds up wear. We’ll check the area and explain what we see.

Move furniture and electronics away from the drip, catch the water in buckets and soak up what you can. If a ceiling is sagging, keep people out of the room. Don’t climb onto a snowy or icy roof; wait for us.

Some policies cover water damage from ice dams; others limit it. It depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. We document the damage with photos and notes to help with your claim.
