Comprehensive Roof Leak Detection & Repair
A leaking roof can quickly lead to significant damage to your home's structure, insulation, and interior finishes. At Green Shield Roofing, we specialize in accurate leak detection and effective repair solutions for all types of roofing systems.
Our experienced technicians use advanced moisture detection equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint the exact source of leaks, which often originate in areas far from where water damage appears inside your home.
We provide both emergency temporary repairs to stop active leaks and permanent solutions that address the underlying issues, ensuring your roof's integrity for years to come.

Common Causes of Roof Leaks
Damaged Shingles
Missing, cracked, or curled shingles from age or storm damage create entry points for water to penetrate your roof system.
Flashing Failures
Deteriorated or improperly installed flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof valleys are common leak sources.
Clogged Gutters
Backed-up gutters cause water to pool at the roof edge, potentially forcing water under shingles and into your home.
Ice Dams
During rare Central Texas freezes, ice buildup at roof edges can force water under shingles and into your home's interior.
Improper Installation
Incorrectly installed roofing materials or poor workmanship can create vulnerabilities that lead to leaks.
Age-Related Deterioration
All roofing materials degrade over time, with older roofs becoming increasingly susceptible to leaks and failures.

Advanced Leak Detection Process
Finding the exact source of a roof leak can be challenging, as water often travels from the entry point to another location before causing visible damage. Our comprehensive detection process includes:
- Visual Inspection: Thorough examination of your roof's exterior and interior for signs of water intrusion.
- Moisture Detection: Use of professional-grade moisture meters to identify areas of hidden water penetration.
- Thermal Imaging: When necessary, we employ infrared cameras to detect temperature differences that indicate moisture infiltration.
- Water Testing: Strategic application of water in suspected areas to pinpoint elusive leak sources.
- Interior Assessment: Examination of attic spaces, ceilings, and walls for additional clues about leak origination.
This methodical approach allows us to identify and address the true source of leaks, rather than merely treating the symptoms, ensuring long-lasting results.
Signs You May Have a Roof Leak
Water Stains on Ceilings
Brownish or yellowish discoloration on ceilings or walls often indicates active or recent water infiltration.
Dripping Water
Visible water droplets coming from ceiling or light fixtures during or after rain is a clear sign of a leak.
Musty Odors
Persistent musty smells in your attic or upper floors can indicate hidden moisture and potential mold growth.
Peeling Paint or Wallpaper
Bubbling or peeling paint and wallpaper suggests moisture intrusion through walls or ceilings.
Visible Mold Growth
Mold appearing on ceilings or upper walls often indicates a leak providing the moisture necessary for growth.
Damaged or Missing Shingles
Visible exterior damage to roofing materials creates vulnerability to water infiltration and leaks.

What Our Customers Say About Our Leak Repair Services
"After multiple roofers failed to fix a persistent leak in our master bedroom, Green Shield Roofing was able to locate and repair the true source of the problem. Their thorough detection process found that water was entering around a poorly flashed chimney and traveling across the roof deck. Their repair has held through several major storms, and we couldn't be happier with the results."
"Green Shield responded to our emergency call within hours when we discovered a major leak during a thunderstorm. They quickly installed a temporary tarp to prevent further damage and returned the next day to complete a permanent repair. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely concerned about protecting our home. I've already recommended them to several neighbors."
