Roof Leak Cleanup and Repair in Los Angeles
Having a roof cleanup is one of the most stressful events that can happen when it comes to your home. Many people fear roof cleanups because they are often the most expensive repair that you can experience.
When you find yourself needing roof repair, try to stay calm. We know this is easier said than done, but we are here to help.
Not sure if you need roof repairs? Here are some clues to look out for to signal that a roof repair might need to be done:
- If your roof has leaked into any area, you will need to have experts come and see if you need repairs. If you have experienced a roof leak, always make sure the damage is fixed as you can be more likely to have more leaks in the future.
- If your roof is more than 20 years old, it should be checked for needed repair work.
- An abundance of moss that was never there before.
- Dark streaks are caused by algae growth.
- The roof looks very old and worn or is sagging in a few areas.
- Shingles are cracked or broken.
- Some spots on the roof do not have any granules.
- Some of the shingles are cupped or curled.
Keep in mind there are also times when you may need roof repairs even if there has not been a leak. However, leaks are some of the most common reasons for needing repairs. After a leak, you need to have the roof repaired sooner rather than later.

Signs of Roof Leaking
Sometimes a roof leaking is very evident. You might have water pouring into the home or have a part of the roof collapse from holding too much water. However, there are times when your roof can be leaking, and you might not even know right away.
Here are some signs that your roof is leaking, and you need cleanup services right away:
- You have random water spots around the walls and ceilings.
- There are shingles missing for no known reason.
- Some of the shingles are cracked and damaged.
- You can see water spots when you are in the attic.
- Some of the boot coverings and flashing are missing and damaged.
Don’t stress if you see any of these signs. Just know there is a leak somewhere in the roof and you need to get professional help as soon as possible. You can give us a call and explain to us what you’re seeing in the home. We can advise you on what to do while you wait for us.
Of course, if the roof is collapsing or you suddenly have water coming into the home, you should give us a call before you do anything else. The water damage will need to be stopped right away in these extreme cases. We will also need to find the cause of the leak so that it can be stopped without the risk of more damage occurring to the home.
Assessing and Restoring the Damage
Before we do any work, we will need to assess the damage. This allows us to know which tools we should bring to start the cleanup process. Some damage needs more work than others, so assessing the damage will allow us to give you a timeline of how long the work will take to be completed.
Once we know the extent of the damage, we can start the restoration process. Depending on how bad the damage is, this can take us a few days to a few months. Be assured though we always try and work as quickly as possible so that you can be back in your home.
All our experts pay great attention to detail so that you can move back into your home worry-free without feeling like you should be concerned about the roof or other structural components of the home.
Our Process for Repairing Roof Leaks
The first thing we need to do when we get to your home is determined why the roof is leaking. Once we have determined the cause, we can begin repairing the issue. We will call in people to inspect the roof at the same time we call in cleaners so that both processes can begin at the same time.
Roof leaks can be caused by many different issues. One of the most common ones is that your roof has experienced some damage after a large storm. Old roofs are more likely to have leaks because some of the shingles might be cracked or broken off.
We will repair the part of the roof that is damaged and will also repair the surrounding area to prevent the damage from spreading.
We will also need to begin the cleanup process which involves many different steps:
- We will use our commercial-grade equipment to suction out any water that is inside the floors and walls.
- Once we have suctioned out as much water as possible, we will use water vacuums to pull the rest of the water out of the home.
- We will then take out all the furniture and belongings that might be damaged for inspection. In many cases, we can restore the items. If the damage is too much, we will recommend that you replace the items.
- We will use our special large humidifiers to suck out all the extra moisture in the room. Before and after we use the dehumidifiers, we will use tools to test the moisture levels in the room. Once we are satisfied the levels are safe, we will complete our work and you can move back into the home
With all our repair and cleanup services, we also check for mold as this can affect the health of you and your family.
