Find the Leak and Stop It Permanently
Advanced leak detection and repair services for homes in Stratford, Connecticut.

When water shows up on your ceiling or drips down an interior wall in Stratford, the actual entry point is often several feet away from where you see the stain. Water travels along rafters, runs down underlayment, and pools in places that make the source hard to pinpoint. Veteran Roofing Solutions uses inspection tools and experience to trace leaks back to where they start, whether that is a cracked flashing, a punctured shingle, or a failed seal around a penetration.

This service starts with a roof and attic inspection to locate moisture trails, discoloration, or soft spots that indicate where water is entering. We check flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes, and we look for shingles that have lifted or torn. Once we identify the entry point, we repair it using materials and methods that prevent the leak from coming back.

If you are dealing with an active leak or water damage in Stratford, we can schedule an inspection and give you a clear explanation of what is failing and what it takes to fix it. Get in Touch

How We Locate and Repair Roof Leaks Accurately

We begin inside your attic, tracing water stains back toward the roofline to narrow down the area where the leak is entering. In Stratford, most leaks occur at flashing transitions, around vent boots, or where valleys meet the main roof plane. We mark the suspected entry point and then confirm it from the exterior by checking for missing granules, lifted shingles, or cracked sealant.

After the repair, you will see new flashing properly lapped and sealed, replaced shingles that sit flat and secure, and penetrations that are waterproofed with fresh boots or collars. The attic will stop showing new moisture, and the ceiling stain will not spread or darken after the next rain.

We also inspect the surrounding area to confirm there are no other weak points that could fail soon. If the leak caused damage to the decking or insulation, we explain what needs replacing and include that in the scope. This service focuses on stopping the water at the source, not just covering up the visible damage inside your home.

Most people ask these before scheduling a leak inspection

These are the questions homeowners typically have when they are trying to understand what causes leaks and how long repairs take to complete.

What causes most roof leaks in Stratford?
Leaks most often start at flashing around chimneys and vents, at shingle seams that have lifted, or where valleys funnel water. Wind-driven rain can also push water under shingles that are otherwise sound.

How do you find a leak if it is not obvious from the outside?
We trace the water path from the interior stain back to the roof, looking for discoloration on the underside of the decking or along rafters. We then inspect the exterior surface directly above that area for damage or failed seals.

When should I call for leak detection?
You should call as soon as you notice a stain, drip, or musty smell in your attic. The longer water enters, the more damage it causes to insulation, framing, and interior finishes.
