Roof Leak Repair in Runnemede, NJ
A ceiling mark tells you where water finished its journey, not where it began. Working backwards up that path is the job, and it is the part most often skipped.

Once water is past the covering it travels: along the sheathing, down the side of a rafter, out across a joist, dropping only where it meets a seam that will let it through. Several feet of sideways travel is ordinary. Seal the roof directly above the mark and you have treated the end of that path while leaving its start wide open.
How we find it
From the inside first
The attic is read before the roof is walked: wet sheathing, rusted nail shanks and staining on the rafters point uphill to the entry.
Then the obvious suspects
Penetrations, valleys, step flashing against walls and chimney counter-flashing account for most of what we find.
Water testing where needed
If the attic does not give it away, the roof is wetted in sections from the bottom up until it shows.
Photographed before and after
You see the entry point as it was found, not a description of it.
What happens once it is found
Small entries are dealt with on the spot when the van is already carrying what they need. Anything bigger is written up as an itemised repair. Where the leak proves to be one symptom of a covering that has simply run out, you will be told so plainly rather than sold two visits.
