First hour

What should I do while I wait for the roofer?

First, stay off the roof. A wet shingle roof is slick, and a leak is never worth a fall. Put a bucket or a trash can under the drip and move furniture, rugs and electronics out of the way. If the ceiling drywall is bulging with water, push a screwdriver through the low point of the bulge over the bucket. It looks wrong, but draining a controlled hole beats the whole panel letting go at once. Turn off power to that room at the breaker if water is anywhere near a light fixture or a ceiling fan.

Then call us. Tell Vance where the water is showing up, when it started, and whether it happens in every rain or only in wind driven rain from one direction. That last detail matters, because it points to which slope the water is coming from. When he arrives he stops the water first. If the roof is open from storm damage, that means a tarp secured over the damaged area so it holds through the next rain. If it is a failed boot or flashing, the fix is often done the same visit.

What we do not do is patch the symptom and leave. Once the water is stopped, Vance traces it to the source. Leaks travel, and the wet spot on your ceiling is usually downhill from the actual entry point. The permanent fix is the same careful work described on our roof repair page: a new pipe boot, new metal flashing, shingles woven back into the field. If the leak followed a hurricane or a hail storm, we photograph everything so you have documentation, which is covered on our storm damage roof repair page. And if the roof is simply worn out and leaking in several places, we will tell you that plainly and explain what a roof replacement in League City involves, rather than sell you a patch on a roof that is finished.

Sealed vent pipe flashing, a common roof leak source

Where do roof leaks in League City usually start?

In our experience the same five places account for most of the calls. Cracked rubber pipe boots around plumbing vents, split by years of UV. Flashing where an upper wall meets a lower roof, common on two story homes across Tuscan Lakes and Victory Lakes. Shingles lifted and creased by wind, especially after a storm blew through from the bay. Nail pops that backed out of the deck and opened a pinhole under a shingle. And valleys where two slopes meet and the old metal has rusted or the shingles were cut too tight. None of those need a new roof. All of them get worse every rain they are left alone, because water in the decking becomes soft wood, and soft wood becomes a bigger repair.

How much damage does a leak do inside the house?

More than the stain suggests. By the time a spot shows on the ceiling, water has usually been soaking the insulation and the top of the drywall for days or weeks. Wet insulation stops insulating and holds moisture against the wood. Drywall sags and eventually lets go. In Gulf Coast humidity, mold can start in a wet attic within days. That is why the leak itself is the first job and the interior comes second. Vance will tell you what he saw in the attic, whether the insulation should be pulled, and whether the drywall can dry out or needs replacing, so you know what to expect before you call a drywall or restoration company.

Do not wait

A small leak today is a decking repair next month

Water that gets under shingles does not stop at the underlayment. It soaks into the plywood, the plywood swells and delaminates, and the nails holding your shingles lose their grip. What starts as a cracked pipe boot, which is a small repair, becomes a section of deck replacement plus new shingles plus drywall inside. If you have seen a stain, heard a drip or found wet insulation, call now. It is cheaper today than it will be after the next storm.

Why Vance

Why League City calls A Honesty Roofing when the ceiling is dripping

Active leaks go first

Tell us water is coming in and your call moves to the front of the line during our Monday to Saturday hours. Vance comes prepared to tarp, trace and repair on the same visit whenever the weather allows it.

Stop the water, then find the cause

The tarp or the quick seal stops the damage. Then Vance goes looking for where the water actually enters, which is rarely straight above the stain, so the permanent repair lands on the real problem.

Honest about what you need

If it is a boot or a run of flashing, that is what you pay for. If the roof is worn out and leaking in several places, Vance says so and explains replacement rather than selling you a patch that fails next month.

“We had two excellent experiences with Vance's company this week, both related to our roof. Mike did a beautiful job on the vent lines. He went the extra mile and did a thorough roof and fireplace chimney inspection.”

Questions

Emergency leak questions

Do you offer 24 hour emergency roof repair? +
Our hours are Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM, and active leaks go first during those hours. Outside that window, contain the water with a bucket, stay off the roof, and call (713) 828-2551 first thing so Vance can get to you as early as possible.
Should I go on the roof and put a tarp on it myself? +
No. A wet roof is dangerous and a badly secured tarp can do more damage in wind than the leak. Contain the water inside, then call. Vance tarps damaged areas properly with the tarp secured over the ridge so it holds through the next storm.
Why does my roof only leak in heavy wind driven rain? +
Wind pushes rain sideways and up under shingle edges, flashing and vent covers that shed normal rain fine. That usually means a lifted shingle course, an unsealed flashing edge or a vent on the windward side. Tell Vance which direction the storm came from and it narrows the search.
Can a leak be fixed on the first visit? +
Often, if it is a pipe boot, a lifted shingle course or a flashing seam and the weather is dry enough to work. Larger damage gets tarped the same visit and the permanent repair scheduled as soon as the roof is dry. Either way you know the plan and the price before we leave.
Will my insurance cover a roof leak? +
Policies generally cover sudden storm damage and not wear from age. If a storm caused the leak, we photograph and document the damage for your adjuster. If the boot simply wore out after fifteen summers, that is usually on the homeowner, and Vance will tell you which it looks like.
How do I know if the leak is from the roof or from something else? +
Stains that grow after rain and sit near a vent, chimney, wall or valley are usually the roof. Stains that appear in dry weather near a bathroom or an air handler are often plumbing or AC condensation. Vance checks the attic side and tells you which it is.
