That’s why here at Roofing911, we use state of the art technology coupled with nearly 40 years of experience to find and cure your roof leak. Finding your own roof leak can be nearly impossible without this combination of equipment and manpower. Call Roofer911 today at (703) 475-2446 and we’ll send an experienced roofer to your home for a free roof repair consultation.


When inspecting your roof for damages, you might not be able to find your roof leak because:

• You’re looking above the ceiling leak - Just because a roof leak occurs in one spot, doesn’t mean it started there. Roof leaks often start at other locations on the roof and travel down with the force of gravity towards the leak. If you can’t find a leak near its source, travel up higher on the roof and you’ll probably come into contact with it.

• You haven’t looked around penetrations - Roofing penetrations like plumbing pipes and vents can be prime hot spots for roof leaks. Many times the cap or boot that fits onto the pipe can become brittle or damaged with time. Check each roofing penetration around the flange for cracks, splits, breaks or heavy discolorations. If you spot any of these symptoms—don’t wait. Call Roofer911 at (703) 475-2446 for a free inspection of your plumbing stacks so we can find and fix your roof leaks right away.

• You haven’t checked the ridge vent - In many cases; the ridge vent can be the cause of your roof leak. If they aren’t installed correctly, they can easily leak. High winds and heavy storms can often cause damage to these sensitive areas of the roof. Look for exposed nails, cracked caulking, heavy stains and gaps when inspecting a ridge vent for leaks.

• You’re not looking in the gutters - Clogged or misaligned gutters are the cause of more than 10 percent of roof leaks. Be sure to keep your gutters and downspouts clean and clear of debris. Misaligned and improperly sloped gutters can allow water to penetrate your soffit and eventually into your home. Also, check gutters for screws that may have penetrated into the roofing substrate and not into the subfascia. If you suspect your gutters may be leaking, call Roofer911 today at (703) 475-2446 and we’ll send a qualified team of roofers to inspect your gutters for free.

• You may have neglected the siding - Sometimes; a roof leak isn’t a roof leak at all. It’s a siding leak. When your siding is damaged, water can penetrate your home. If even the slightest bit of moisture is allowed to enter the cavities behind your walls, black mold can form. Black mold can be a serious respiratory concern in the home and in extreme cases could result in death. If you suspect you have a leak in your siding or you have black mold issues, call Roofer911 at (703) 475-2446 immediately for a free no obligation inspection.

• You overlooked the windows - Window leaks can be a major concern in your home. Humidity can be allowed to enter the area around windows, creating a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Signs that your window may be leaking include fogging panes, discolorations and peeling seals. If you’re unsure about your windows ability to keep out moisture; don’t hesitate. Call Roofer911 today at (703) 475-2446 for a no cost, no obligation inspection of your homes windows.

Second time I've used Roofer 911, and I've been very satisfied both times. I called about a roof leak and it was fixed that same day, just in time for a huge rain storm. A few other problems were pointed out that I wasn't aware of, and thankfully they were caught before they became expensive problems! Fair prices, fast response, and quality service!

Steve, the owner of Roofer 911 is an excellent professional. I spoke to him over the phone and from the first conversation with him I new my problem is solved. Steve and his team inspected the roof and identified the problem, they also discovered another problem in the roof and another one problem with my gutters. My conversation with Steve was early in the morning and by noon his team finish the work, That is what I call JOB WELL DONE. Thank you roofer 911 team.

I was pretty impressed with the service. It was a little pricey for me but I've dealt with other contractors and Steve was straight up with me when I talked to him about my aluminum siding problem. I didn't even know that they don't make aluminum siding anymore. The minimum charge is pretty reasonable for the exceptional level of services I received. I also was putting off fixing a small leak which Steve's crew found. I had that fixed at the same time. From the time I called, my problems were fixed within 24 hours. I would definitely recommend this company to others.
