New Braunfels weather and leaks
- Spring storms and hail. Central Texas gets strong spring storms. Hail can crack shingles and open new leak points.
- Hot summers. Long stretches of heat dry out rubber pipe boots and sealants faster.
- Heavy downpours. This area is known for sudden, heavy rain. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashing.
- Oak trees. Leaves and limbs clog valleys and gutters so water backs up.
What changes the price
We will not guess a price. It is set after the roof is checked.
- Finding the source
- Some leaks are easy to see. Others need attic checks or water testing.
- Where the leak is
- A leak near a chimney or on a steep slope takes more time and safety gear.
- Roof material
- Shingle, metal, and flat roofs use different parts and methods.
- Hidden damage
- Wet wood or insulation is only found once the area is opened.
- Timing
- Tarping during a storm costs extra and is not the final repair.

Common questions
Why is the ceiling stain not under the leak?
Water travels down the roof deck and rafters before it drips. The roofer starts inside at the highest wet spot and works outward.
My roof only leaks in heavy rain. Why?
Hard, wind-driven rain can push water under flashing or up a valley. Light rain may not reach that weak spot.
Can a leak be fixed without a new roof?
Most leaks come from one spot, like a pipe boot or flashing. Those can usually be repaired. A new roof makes more sense when the roof is old and leaks in many places.
Is roof sealant or caulk a real fix?
It can stop water for a short time. A lasting repair replaces or rebuilds the failed part so water flows off the roof the right way.
Will insurance pay to fix my roof leak?
It depends on the cause and your policy. Sudden storm damage is often covered. Wear and age usually are not. Your insurer decides.
What if the leak comes back after repair?
Ask for the workmanship warranty in writing before work starts. A return leak often means a second entry point that needs tracing.
