🌨 Common Causes of Roof Leaks in Calgary

Our city’s harsh environment creates specific roofing failures that we are experts at remediating:

• Hail & Wind Damage: Punched shingles or lifted flashing from intense summer storms.
• Ice Damming: Snow melting on the roof and refreezing at the eaves, forcing water under shingles.
• Age & UV Degradation: Brittle shingles failing during Calgary’s high-UV summers and cold winters.
• Vent & Chimney Leaks: Failing seals around roof penetrations that allow water to bypass the roof deck.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do the moment I see a ceiling leak?

‍Place a bucket under the drip to catch water. If the ceiling is bulging or "bubbling," carefully poke a small hole in the center to release the weight of the water—this can prevent the entire ceiling from collapsing.

How fast can you arrive for emergency tarping?

‍We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch and can typically have a crew at your Calgary location within the hour to secure the roof.

Will my insurance cover roof leak damage?

‍Most policies cover the resultant damage (the wet ceiling, walls, and flooring) if the leak was caused by a sudden event like hail or wind. We help document the damage for your claim.

Can you save my attic insulation?

‍If fiberglass or cellulose insulation becomes heavily saturated, it loses its R-value and can harbor mold. Usually, we recommend extraction and replacement for health and efficiency reasons.

How do you find a roof leak that isn't dripping yet?

‍We use infrared thermal imaging to look for temperature drops in your ceiling. These "cold spots" indicate moisture trapped above the drywall before a visible stain appears.

Can a roof leak cause a fire?

‍Yes. If water reaches light fixtures, junction boxes, or attic wiring, it creates a significant electrical fire risk. We recommend turning off the power to the affected area.

Is it safe to wait until the storm is over to call?

‍No. The longer water sits in your attic and ceiling, the more structural damage occurs and the higher the risk of mold. Emergency tarping should be done as soon as possible.

Do you handle the actual roof repair?

‍Yes. We are a full-service restoration company. We can repair the shingles or flashing to stop the leak and then fully restore your interior living space.
