FAQs
What is a pinpoint leak repair and how does it differ from a standard roof repair?
A pinpoint leak repair focuses on locating and fixing the exact source of water intrusion rather than replacing large roof sections. Using diagnostic tools like infrared scanners, moisture meters, and visual inspections, our technicians identify the precise entry point and repair only that area. This targeted approach minimizes material costs, shortens repair time, and preserves more of your existing roof compared with broader, traditional roof repairs.
Why are roof leaks common in Cleveland?
Cleveland’s climate features heavy lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and spring thunderstorms, all of which stress roofing materials. Ice dams can force water under shingles, while high winds can lift or remove them entirely. Temperature swings also cause roofing components to expand and contract, opening gaps around flashing, vents, and skylights. These regional factors make timely, precise leak detection especially important for homeowners.
How do you locate a hard-to-find roof leak?
Our technicians begin with a detailed visual inspection, checking shingles, flashing, chimneys, and penetrations. We then use moisture probes and infrared thermography to detect hidden moisture patterns beneath the roof surface. If needed, we conduct controlled water testing to confirm the leak path. This multi-step process allows us to identify the exact spot responsible for the leak, even if water appears inside the home far from the actual entry point.
Can pinpoint leak repair extend the overall life of my roof?
Yes. By addressing leaks immediately and preventing water from saturating the decking or insulation, pinpoint repairs stop small problems from becoming structural damage or mold growth. Fixing isolated issues early can add years to the service life of asphalt shingle, metal, or flat roofs, delaying the significant expense of a full replacement.
How long does a typical pinpoint leak repair take, and will I need to leave my home?
Most pinpoint leak repairs are completed in one day. The actual repair work may take a few hours depending on roof height, material, and weather conditions. You don’t need to vacate your home; disruptions are minimal because the work is confined to a small roof section and we use cleanup tarps to protect landscaping and walkways.
What will a pinpoint leak repair cost and is it covered by warranty?
Costs vary with roof type, accessibility, and the materials required, but pinpoint repairs in Cleveland typically range from $350 to $1,200—far less than large-scale repairs or replacement. After a site visit, we provide a written, no-obligation quote. All repairs come with a labor warranty of up to 5 years, and we use manufacturer-approved materials so any existing shingle warranties remain valid.
