A roof leak almost never drips where it enters. Absolute Restoration and Roofing traces leaks to their actual entry point and repairs them permanently, for homes and buildings across greater St. Louis.

Leak detection and repair in St. Louis

Water enters at a flashing gap or nail hole, runs along the underside of decking, and finally shows itself rooms away from the source. Patching the stain treats the symptom. We inspect from the roof surface and the attic side, moisture-map when needed, and repair the entry point itself: flashing, boot, seam, or shingle. Then we tell you what interior damage the leak already caused, because we can fix that too.

How we find and fix leaks

• Roof-surface inspection of flashings, penetrations, and valleys

• Attic-side inspection for water trails and daylight

• Moisture readings to map how far water has traveled

• Permanent repair at the entry point, photographed

• Assessment of insulation, drywall, and framing the leak wet

Classic signs of a hidden leak

• A ceiling stain that dries, then returns with rain

• Peeling paint near ceiling lines or window tops

• Damp attic insulation or a musty attic smell

• Ice dam backup stains near eaves in winter
