Emergency roof leak repair
Active water coming in now
Midwest roofs get worked from both ends of the year — freeze-thaw opening joints in winter, hail and straight-line wind finding them in spring.
Bloomington gets the full range — freeze-thaw cycling through winter, severe convective storms with hail and straight-line wind in spring and summer, and enough temperature swing between them to work every joint on the roof loose. Freeze-thaw is the quiet one: water finds a hairline gap in flashing, freezes overnight, expands, and opens it slightly wider, repeating through a De Witt County winter until a joint that was watertight in October is leaking by March. Spring brings the loud damage, and derechos have put straight-line wind through this region at speeds that take ridge caps and whole shingle courses. Housing stock here is older than average, which means a lot of roofs where the flashing has already been through several decades of that cycle.
Most calls are one of these. 9 further roofing services are listed under all services.
