Buffalo Roof Leak Repair | Skylight & Snow Damage Experts | Progressive Roofing

This is a very common issue here. During winter, snow and ice can dam up on your roof, trapping water against shingles and flashing. As it slowly melts, this water can find its way into tiny cracks or under compromised shingles that expanded during freezing temperatures. Our inspections focus on identifying these vulnerable areas, like valleys and eaves, to make repairs that withstand our specific freeze-thaw cycles.

Skylights are a common leak source in Buffalo due to the constant expansion and contraction from temperature swings, which can break the waterproof sealant (flashing) around the unit. High winds can also lift edges. We don't just re-caulk; we properly assess and often re-flash the skylight with durable, ice-and-water shield materials, ensuring a tight seal that accommodates our local weather patterns to prevent future leaks.

After heavy snow or a freeze, keep an eye out for interior signs like water stains on ceilings or walls, especially near the attic. Outside, look for missing or cracked shingles, damaged flashing around chimneys or vents, and excessive granules in your gutters. In spring, checking for these issues can help you address them before summer storms. We offer free, no-obligation inspections to give you peace of mind.
