Water's Sneaky Path

03/04/2024

Did you know water travels? On a roof when you see a leak, that is not necessarily where the leak is.

Yes, that’s correct! Water can travel along various paths before it becomes visible, making it challenging to pinpoint the exact source of a leak. When you observe a water stain on a ceiling or a damp spot on a wall, the actual point where the water is entering the building may be some distance away from the visible symptoms.

Water can move horizontally along surfaces, follow structural components like beams or pipes, or even seep through porous materials. This phenomenon is known as “water migration” or “water tracking.” Identifying the source of a leak often requires a systematic approach, including inspecting the area where the water is visible and tracing it back to its origin.

It’s essential to address leaks promptly to prevent further damage, and sometimes the assistance of professionals, such as plumbers or roofing experts, may be necessary to accurately locate and repair the source of the water intrusion.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“Brett was so great to work with and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of work! Brothers built a new front porch, resided our home and did some interior work. Would absolutely recommend the team for any of your projects!”

Larry C.

“They had replaced our roof a couple of years ago. They really stood up for us with the insurance company, and they handled every bit of it. We never had to talk to the insurance company at all. They did a wonderful job, were on time and clean up was great. We had a couple of bad storms come through recently and we were worried about storm damage. We called them and they promptly came out for an inspection.”

“If you need a roof replaced you need to call Brothers Roofing and Construction. Wish there were 10 stars to rate Brothers Roofing. Will definitely pass the word of their great service to anyone asking about their work. All work was completed in one day. We love our new roof (and gutters).”

Jordan E.

“We recently had work done on our house. Replaced our roof, which was more on the ancient side, and had our siding replaced. Bill and Brett have been amazing to work with! The crew was phenomenal they arrived earlier than we had expected and had the work done in no time. Everyone did a fantastic job, we couldn’t be more pleased with how things turned out.”

“I had an unusual circumstance with a historic home and a chimney crown that needed to be replaced in a very timely manor. The company went above and beyond to accommodate with a professional and quality replacement of the chimney crown. The crew that did the repair did everything and more that was required, in a short amount of time. They were polite, cleaned up after themselves and I was VERY pleased with what they did. I would and will always recommend Brothers Roofing and Construction.”

“Appreciated the time Joshua took with his explanation how the process works installing the roof making sure I understood completely. Honesty is very important to me. He is a valuable asset to the company. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer people to your company. Clients need to feel they are important”

Tess D.

“We needed a whole new roof. I got a few quotes and one company was pretty pushy about getting us to hire them. I then called Brothers and not only was it the lowest quote we received, the whole procedure was seamless. Brett was our rep and he explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions, kept up communication and worked with us on our financing. Brett went out to the house the day of installation to make sure everything was going smoothly. We are so glad we went Brothers. I would definitely recommend this company.”

Warren W.

“Repaired deteriorated chimney mortar, cap, and flashing. Josh and crew were replacing the roof next door and noticed my chimney was in danger of falling part. Gave me a quote and started work as soon as their crew finished another job and the weather cooperated for a couple of days. Extremely hard working crew of two! No goofing around, just worked.”

Colleen T.

“Can’t say enough great things about the company and roofers! Quality work, respectful of my property, on time and cleaned up the property after finished, walked around to see if anything was missed on property, polite and helpful. Everything was explained before project was started, samples were shown and helpful in selecting colors for roof and trim and after project was completed finally billing was explained again! Everyone did their jobs as if they were doing it for a respected family member! Wonderful, highly recommend!”
