The most critical immediate step is to contain the interior water damage. Place buckets under active drips and move any furniture or valuables out of the area. Then, contact a professional roofer like Chivalan Roofing for emergency tarping. A properly installed tarp is a temporary but vital measure to prevent further water intrusion until a permanent repair can be scheduled. Avoid going on the roof yourself, especially if it's wet or damaged, as it can be extremely dangerous.

Fort Myers' frequent tropical storms and strong afternoon thunderstorms create powerful uplift forces that can pry shingles loose, especially if they're older or were improperly installed. We don't just replace the missing shingles. Our repair process includes a full inspection of the surrounding area to secure any compromised decking, replace the underlying underlayment, and install new shingles with high-wind rated nails and sealant. This comprehensive approach ensures the repair blends seamlessly and restores the roof's integrity against future storms.

A roof valley leak can absolutely be permanently repaired. The key is expert diagnosis and craftsmanship. Often, leaks occur due to worn or incorrectly installed valley flashing or compromised underlayment. Our solution involves carefully removing the affected shingles, inspecting and repairing the decking if needed, and installing new, corrosion-resistant metal valley flashing with a proper weave or closed-cut method. We then re-shingle the area with precision to ensure water is correctly channeled off the roof. When done right by a local expert familiar with our heavy rains, it becomes one of the strongest parts of your roof.
