Why is the leak stain not directly under the roof problem?

Because water enters at a failure point, then travels along the decking or a rafter before dripping through the ceiling at the first low spot, often feet from the entry. That is why tracing the leak to its source matters. Summit Roofing diagnoses a leak from the roof and attic back to the real source rather than patching the ceiling stain.

What most often causes a roof leak in Marietta?

The most common sources are cracked pipe boots, worn or lifted flashing at chimneys and skylights, damaged valleys, and wind-lifted or missing shingles. Pipe boots that crack in the Georgia sun are especially common. Summit Roofing checks these transitions and penetrations first, since leaks rarely start in the open shingle field.

Can a roof leak be repaired without replacing the roof?

Usually, yes. When the leak traces to an isolated source, such as a pipe boot, flashing, or a few damaged shingles, and the surrounding roof is sound, a targeted repair stops it. Widespread damage or age points toward replacement. Summit Roofing takes a repair-first approach and inspects the roof to determine which it needs.
