Roof Leak Repair Services in The Villages & Leesburg

NB Roofs finds the source of roof leaks, repairs the damage, and helps prevent new leaks on homes in The Villages, FL, Leesburg and nearby Central Florida communities. NB Roofs repairs leaks on shingle, tile, metal and flat roofs.

  • Roof Leak Detection

    Roof Leak Detection

    Water often travels along the roof deck or rafters before it shows up on a ceiling, so the stain is not always under the leak. NB Roofs inspects the shingles or roof covering, flashing, valleys, roof penetrations and underlayment to find where water is getting in.

    • Roof covering, flashing and valleys checked
    • Vents, pipes, chimneys and skylights checked
    • Findings explained before any work starts

    Roof Leak Repair

Common causes

What causes roof leaks in Florida?

The most common causes of roof leaks in Florida are wind and heavy rain lifting or tearing shingles, worn or loose flashing around chimneys, walls, vents and skylights, cracked pipe boots and sealants, clogged gutters that back water up under the roof edge, and roofing materials aged by years of strong sun.

The stain is not always under the leakWater can run along the roof deck, rafters or pipes before it drips onto a ceiling. That is why NB Roofs traces a leak from the roof and the attic, not just from the stain inside.

  • Wind and heavy rain

    Strong wind can lift, crease or tear shingles, and heavy rain finds any opening it leaves behind.

  • Worn or loose flashing

    Flashing seals the joints around chimneys, walls, vents and skylights. When it loosens or corrodes, water gets in at those joints.

  • Cracked pipe boots and sealants

    The rubber boots and sealants around plumbing vents dry out and crack in the sun over time.

  • Clogged gutters and valleys

    Leaves and debris hold water in gutters and valleys, where it can back up under the roof edge.

  • Sun-aged materials

    Years of strong Florida sun dry out roofing materials until they crack, curl or lose their seal.

Warning signs

What are the signs of a roof leak?

Common signs of a roof leak include water stains or bubbling paint on ceilings and walls, drips after rain, a musty smell, and damp or stained insulation in the attic. On the roof, look for missing or lifted shingles, cracked tiles, and loose flashing. A roof assessment finds where the water is getting in.

Signs inside the home

  • Brown or yellow water stains on ceilings or walls
  • Bubbling or peeling paint, or sagging drywall
  • Drips or damp spots after heavy rain
  • A musty smell in rooms below the roof

Signs in the attic and on the roof

  • Wet or stained insulation, or daylight through the roof boards
  • Dark stains or soft spots on the underside of the roof deck
  • Missing, lifted or creased shingles, or cracked tiles
  • Loose or rusted flashing around chimneys, walls and vents
  • Granules from shingles collecting in the gutters

Our process

How does NB Roofs repair a roof leak?

A roof leak repair with NB Roofs follows six steps, from finding the source of the leak to a final check and cleanup.

  1. Find the source

    NB Roofs inspects the roof and the attic to trace where the water is getting in, not just where it shows up.

  2. Explain the findings

    You see what was found and what NB Roofs recommends, with upfront pricing before work starts.

  3. Protect the area

    The crew protects the property around the work area before the repair begins.

  4. Repair the cause

    Damaged roofing, flashing, pipe boots, seals or decking are repaired to the manufacturer's specifications and the Florida Building Code.

  5. Check the repair

    A final inspection confirms the repaired area is sealed and the surrounding roof is sound.

  6. Clean up

    The crew removes old materials and debris and cleans up the site.

Do not wait

Why should a roof leak be repaired quickly?

A roof leak should be repaired quickly because water that keeps getting in can damage the roof deck and framing, soak insulation, stain and weaken ceilings and walls, and lead to mold and mildew in Florida's humid climate. A small leak is usually easier to repair than the damage it causes over time.

  • Roof deck and framing

    Water that keeps getting in can soften the roof deck and damage the rafters and supports underneath.

  • Mold, insulation and ceilings

    Wet insulation stops working well, ceilings and walls stain and sag, and Florida humidity helps mold and mildew grow.

  • Storm season

    The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, according to the National Hurricane Center. A weak spot in the roof is more likely to let water in during heavy storms.

Questions

Roof Leak Repair FAQs for The Villages Homeowners

  • What should I do if my roof is leaking right now?

    If your roof is leaking right now, move belongings away from the water, catch drips in a bucket, and keep away from wet ceilings and from electrical outlets or fixtures near the water. Do not climb onto a wet roof. Then call NB Roofs at (352) 269-2157 to schedule a roof leak inspection.

  • How do roofers find a roof leak?

    Roofers find a roof leak by tracing the water back to where it gets in. Water often runs along the roof deck or rafters before it drips, so NB Roofs checks the attic for stains and wet insulation, then inspects the roof covering, flashing, valleys, pipe boots and other penetrations above that area.

  • Why does my roof leak only during heavy rain?

    A roof that leaks only during heavy rain or wind-driven rain usually has a small opening, such as loose flashing, a cracked pipe boot, a lifted shingle or a clogged valley or gutter. Light rain drains past it, but heavy rain or wind pushes water in. An inspection finds the weak spot.

  • How much does roof leak repair cost?

    The cost of a roof leak repair depends on what is causing the leak, the roof type, how easy the area is to reach, and whether the decking, insulation or other materials underneath are damaged. NB Roofs inspects the roof first and gives upfront pricing before any work starts.

  • Does homeowners insurance cover a roof leak?

    Whether homeowners insurance covers a roof leak depends on your policy and on what caused the leak. Policies often treat sudden storm damage differently from wear and age. Ask your insurance agent or read your policy, and see the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation for consumer resources.

  • Can a roof leak be repaired, or do I need a new roof?

    Many roof leaks can be repaired when the damage is limited to one area, such as a lifted shingle, loose flashing or a cracked pipe boot. If the roof is worn across large areas or leaks keep coming back in different places, a roof replacement may be the better option. An inspection shows which applies.
