Roof Repair & Storm Damage in Ladysmith
Ladysmith Roofing handles roof repair for leaks and storm damage across Ladysmith, Saltair, Chemainus and Cedar. We work on both asphalt and metal roofs to meet the same 1-in-3 minimum slope and underlay standards set out in the BC Building Code as a full replacement.
Signs your roof needs repair
Watch for missing or curling shingles, granules collecting in gutters, damp patches on ceilings, and daylight showing through the attic. We check flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights first, as these seams are common places for leaks. We look for curling or missing shingles after windstorms during our routine visits. We fix small flashing leaks early to save your roof deck from wider replacement later.
After a storm
We repair damage when high winds lift shingles or falling branches puncture asphalt and metal surfaces. We inspect your whole roof after a storm because wind-driven rain travels under shingles far from the initial entry point. What a repair costs depends on how much of the roof needs attention, and whether flashing or underlay has to be replaced along with the shingles or panels. We photograph all damage before starting work so you have clear records for your insurance claim.
How we find a leak
Finding the true source of a roof leak requires careful tracking, as water often enters in one spot and travels along rafters before dripping into your living space. We start our diagnosis inside your attic whenever accessible. We examine the underside of the wooden deck, looking for moisture stains, damp insulation, rot, or light shining through small gaps.
Once we trace the water trail inside, we move up to the outer roof surface directly above and upslope from the interior drip point. We inspect flashing around chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights, and sidewall step joints, where sealant failures or loose metal frequently let water in. We check adjacent asphalt shingles for cracks, lifting, cupping, or missing granules, and inspect metal seams for loose fasteners. We photograph every problem spot we find and explain the exact repair steps needed to restore a watertight seal on your home.
