Note 01Is it expensive to fix a roof leak?

Usually not. Leak repair in Columbus is estimated from the local small-repair band of about $300 to $1,000, and the fix is often a pipe boot, a flashing or a few shingles. What makes a leak expensive is leaving it while the water works on the deck and the ceiling.

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 grown is worth having traced, but it is not an emergency.

Note 03Why does my roof leak only in heavy rain?

Because the water gets in somewhere that only floods in a downpour or wind-driven rain: a valley that overflows, flashing that lets water in sideways, or a pipe boot that leaks when water backs up against it. Note the wind direction when it happens.
