Roof Leak Repair

Water stains, a drip, a soft spot on the ceiling — we find where it’s actually coming from and fix that, not just where it shows up inside.

Water Coming Through? Call First

Find The Source, Then Fix It

A leak rarely shows up right above where it starts — water travels along decking and framing before it ever reaches your ceiling. Holmes traces the leak to its actual source with a free, documented inspection, then repairs that spot instead of just patching where the stain appears.

Have an active leak right now? Call us at (210) 440-1013. We respond and coordinate an inspection within 24 hours, with same-day roof checks and tarp-in-24 emergency service for active water intrusion, anywhere across the San Antonio metro.

Where Leaks Start

Common Leak Sources We Check

Flashing & Vent Pipes

Loose or corroded flashing around chimneys, vent stacks, and valleys is one of the most common hidden leak points — and one of the easiest to miss without a trained eye.

Storm & Wind-Driven Rain

Hail impact and wind-lifted shingles open small gaps that let water in during the next rain, even if nothing looks obviously broken from the ground.

Age & Wear

Failing sealant, cracked shingles, and worn-out underlayment let water through gradually over years — often before any visible sign shows up inside.

The Full Picture

The Five Most Common Causes Of A San Antonio Roof Leak

  • Flashing failure — at chimneys, vent stacks, and valleys, the single most common hidden entry point
  • Storm and wind-driven rain — finding its way under a shingle that hail or wind already lifted
  • Aging shingles and worn sealant — granule loss and cracked seals that develop gradually over years
  • Clogged or damaged gutters — backing water up under the roofline instead of carrying it away
  • Wildlife or debris damage — a dislodged shingle or a small gap widened by animals or a fallen branch

Any one of these can produce the exact same water stain on your ceiling — which is why a real inspection, not a guess, is the first step.

Leak Questions

What To Do Right Now

Water is coming through my ceiling right now — what do I do?

Call us at (210) 440-1013. We coordinate an inspection within 24 hours, with same-day roof checks and tarp-in-24 emergency service to stop active water intrusion while we plan the permanent repair.

Can I just patch the spot where I see the stain?

Usually not effectively — the actual entry point is often several feet away from where water shows up inside, following the roof deck and framing. A proper repair starts by finding the real source, which is what our inspection is for.

Will insurance cover leak repair?

Storm or hail damage often qualifies for a claim — our free inspection documents exactly what you’ve got. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf. Ongoing wear-and-tear leaks are typically not a covered peril — check your policy.

A tree branch fell on my roof — who do I call first?

Call us directly at (210) 440-1013. We can tarp an active opening and inspect the same day in most cases, then give you a written repair or replacement plan.

What are the five most common causes of a San Antonio roof leak?

Failed flashing at chimneys and vents, storm and wind-driven rain finding a lifted shingle, aging shingles and worn sealant, clogged gutters backing water under the roofline, and wildlife or debris opening small gaps — see the full breakdown below.
