What's included
What Storm and Hurricane Damage Leak Repair Includes
Every storm job starts with a full inspection and a plan. Here is what is covered in a standard storm damage leak repair. If your roof needs something beyond this scope, we tell you upfront and price it separately before any work begins.
Full Roof Inspection
We walk the roof and the attic, check flashing, valleys, pipe boots, skylights, and decking. We use a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera to find hidden moisture. You get photos and a written summary of what we found.
Emergency Tarping
If the roof is open, we tarp it the same day. We use heavy poly tarps secured with cap nails and battens so they hold through wind. This stops water intrusion while we schedule the permanent repair.
Shingle and Underlayment Replacement
We remove damaged shingles, replace torn underlayment, and install new ice and water shield where the code requires it. Then we match your existing shingles as closely as the manufacturer allows.
Flashing and Pipe Boot Repair
Storm wind lifts flashing and cracks pipe boots. We reseal or replace them with new materials, then water-test the area to confirm the repair is watertight before we close it up.
Insurance Documentation
We photograph the damage, note the materials, and provide a written scope you can give your adjuster. Clean documentation speeds up wind and hail claims and helps you get the coverage you paid for.
Service overview
Storm and Hurricane Damage Leak Repair Baytown TX
Storm and Hurricane Damage Leak Repair Baytown TX is the trade of finding and stopping water intrusion caused by high wind, hail, and driving rain, then restoring the roof so it sheds water the way the manufacturer intended. That means lifting damaged shingles, replacing torn underlayment, resealing flashing, and rebuilding the layers that keep Baytown homes dry. We check the decking for soft spots, inspect pipe boots and valleys, and document everything with photos before we close it up.
Baytown sits right on the upper Texas coast, so hurricane season runs June through November and the spring storms that roll off Galveston Bay hit hard. A single 60 mph gust can lift asphalt shingles, crack pipe boot seals, and push water past flashing that looked fine the week before. If you search for storm damage roof leak repair near me Baytown after a blow, you want a crew that knows how this local weather behaves. We do.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
What Happens When You Call
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Call and Triage
You call (281) 306-5579 and describe what you are seeing: a ceiling stain, water running down a wall, missing shingles, or a skylight leak. We ask a few questions to size the problem and get a crew headed your way. Most emergency calls in Baytown get a response window the same day.
Roof and Attic Inspection
A technician climbs the roof with a roof ladder and walks the attic with a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera. We check flashing, pipe boots, valleys, and skylight seals. This usually takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on roof size and how much storm debris is up there.
Emergency Tarp or Dry-In
If the roof is open, we tarp it before we leave. We use 6-mil poly tarps secured with cap nails and battens so the wind does not peel them off overnight. This is a temporary measure, but it stops the water and buys time for the permanent repair.
Permanent Repair
Once the weather clears, we replace damaged shingles, underlayment, flashing, and any pipe boot that failed. We use GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed materials that match your existing roof. A typical storm repair takes one to two days on a standard Baytown ranch home.
Final Test and Walkthrough
We water-test the repaired area and check the attic one more time for moisture. Then we walk you through what we did, show you the photos, and hand over the documentation. If you need a follow-up after the next storm, you have our number.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Moisture Meter
Reads moisture content in decking, insulation, and sheetrock so we know how far water has traveled from the entry point.
Infrared Thermal Camera
Shows temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings, even when the surface looks dry.
Roof Ladder
Lets us access steep and storm-damaged roof planes safely so we can inspect and repair without causing more damage.
Caulking Gun and Trowel
Used to apply roof cement and sealant around flashing, pipe boots, and penetrations with a clean, watertight finish.
Pry Bar and Hammer
For lifting damaged shingles and flashing without tearing the surrounding roof, and for securing new materials.
Drill
Drives fasteners for flashing, battens, and tarp tie-downs so temporary and permanent repairs hold in wind.
Use cases
When to Call for Storm Leak Repair
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Chimney Flashing Leak Fixed
An Eastpoint homeowner had a ceiling stain that grew every time it rained. Two other contractors said the roof needed full replacement. The stain was actually from failed chimney flashing, and the roof itself had years of life left. → We rebuilt the step flashing and counter-flashing around the chimney and sealed the penetration. The stain stopped growing immediately, and the homeowner saved thousands compared to a full roof replacement.
Skylight Leak Stopped Before Mold
A Goose Creek home had water dripping around a skylight after a spring storm. The ceiling around the frame was soft, and mold was starting to form on the sheetrock. The skylight sealant had cracked with age. → We resealed the skylight frame, replaced the sealant, and checked the flashing kit. The leak stopped, the sheetrock dried out, and we treated the area to prevent mold from spreading. Total repair time was one day.
Problems we solve
Storm Leak Problems We Solve in Baytown
Storm damage rarely shows up as one clean problem. It shows up as a stain on the ceiling, a wet attic, or a shingle pile in the yard. Here are the issues we fix most often after a Gulf storm.
Ceiling water stain that keeps growing
We trace the stain back to the actual leak with a moisture meter and thermal camera. Then we repair the flashing, shingle, or pipe boot causing it. The stain stops growing because the water stops coming in.
Missing shingles after high wind
We replace the missing shingles and any torn underlayment underneath. We match your existing shingles and seal the edges so wind cannot get under them again. Most repairs are done in a day.
Water running down a wall or around a chimney
We rebuild the step flashing and counter-flashing around the chimney or wall, then seal the penetration with code-correct materials. We water-test it before we leave to confirm the fix.
Skylight leaking after a storm
We reseal the skylight frame, replace the skylight sealant, and check the flashing kit that ties it into the roof. If the unit itself is cracked, we tell you and price a replacement.
Pricing process
What Storm Leak Repair Costs
$450 - $1,800 for most storm leak repairs; emergency tarping $250 - $600
Extent of Damage
A single flashing leak costs far less than damage across multiple roof planes. We measure the affected area and price accordingly, not by the hour.
Roof Height and Pitch
Steep roofs and two-story homes take longer and require more safety setup. That adds labor, but it also means the repair is done safely and correctly.
Material Matching
If your shingles are still available, matching is straightforward. If they are discontinued, we find the closest match or discuss a partial reroof of that slope.
Customer reviews
What Baytown Neighbors Say
★★★★★
“A squall line came through and took shingles off my back slope. Water was dripping into my kitchen by midnight. I called and they had a tarp on it before noon the next day. Two days later they replaced the shingles and the pipe boot. No leak since, even through the next storm.”
★★★★★
“We had a ceiling stain that kept growing every time it rained. Two other guys told me I needed a whole new roof. These folks used a thermal camera, found a flashing leak at the chimney, and fixed it for a fraction of that. Honest work.”
★★★★★
“I manage several rentals in Baytown and storm season is a nightmare. These guys are the only crew I call now. They tarp fast, document everything for insurance, and the repairs hold. I have used them three times this year alone.”
