Leak Repair in Allen, Tx

This year, we were called out to help a homeowner experiencing a leak in their roof caused by heavy rain. Roof leaks, especially those stemming from valleys, can quickly cause interior damage if not addressed promptly. At Shepherd Roofing & Renovations, we worked swiftly to repair the issue and prevent further water damage.

Leak Repair Details

The leak appeared to be coming from a vulnerable valley section of the roof, a common weak spot where water can accumulate and seep in if not properly protected. We started by removing a 5×5 section of the valley where the leak was suspected to originate. Once the damaged area was cleared, we installed Ice & Water Shield over the exposed section. This protective layer provides a durable barrier that prevents water from penetrating beneath the shingles, especially in high-risk areas like valleys.

Next, we installed new shingles to restore the roof’s appearance and integrity. For added protection, we used JTS1 Sealant to seal the repaired area. This high-performance sealant is designed to provide strong, long-lasting protection against water infiltration.

We also took the opportunity to seal all vents, penetrations, and exposed nails on the roof to ensure that no other potential entry points for water were left exposed. This extra step helps reinforce the entire roofing system and prevents future leaks.

Why Early Leak Repair is Critical

Leaks caused by heavy rain can quickly escalate if left untreated, leading to significant interior damage such as mold growth, water-stained ceilings, and even structural damage to the home. By addressing the problem early, we were able to save the homeowner from more extensive (and expensive) repairs down the road. Our quick response and thorough repair have given the homeowner peace of mind, knowing their roof is fully protected against future storms.
