What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and photographs of the stain and the roof from the ground before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture.
- Stay off the roof, and off the ladderEspecially on a steep Tudor or gambrel slope, and especially when it is wet. Nothing you can see from up there is worth the fall; photographs from the ground and binoculars do the job.

Call (201) 441-1542Note 01How much does it typically cost to repair a roof leak?
A Bergen County roofer prices minor leak repairs, an isolated shingle or flashing, at $300 to $600, and national figures put repairs in general at $300 to $3,000, average around $900. A leak that has soaked the decking under a steep valley costs more. Finding the entry point is most of the work.
Note 02When to worry about a roof leak?
Straight away if the water is near a light fixture, the ceiling bulges, or the leak grows with every rain. An old, dry stain that has not changed is worth having traced, but it is not an emergency. A stain that only appears after snow is usually ice at the eaves, and it gets looked at before next winter.
Note 03Why do roofs leak in heavy rain?
Because heavy rain overwhelms whatever is weakest: a valley half full of leaves, a chimney flashing that holds a shower and not a downpour, or a lifted shingle edge. On a steep roof the water arrives at the valleys fast. Noting which weather brings the leak on is half the diagnosis.
