Diagnosis before patching
How we troubleshoot a metal roof leak
A good repair starts with diagnosis. We begin with an exterior inspection of likely leak paths: penetrations (vents, plumbing stacks), wall transitions, valleys, ridges, and any prior repair spots. Inside, we look for staining patterns and take note of where water could be traveling along framing or decking.
On the roof, we check panel condition, fastener spacing and seating, seam integrity, and flashing fit to the panel profile. We pay special attention to places wind-driven rain gets aggressive, like gable ends and wall lines. In Beaumont's storm season, the failure is often a small detail that turned into a pathway under pressure.
Once we find the source, we explain what failed in plain language and outline the fix: what gets replaced, what gets re-sealed, and what gets re-fastened. If a repair depends on matching a specific panel profile, fastener type, or flashing style, we call that out so you understand the why behind the scope.
