Leaks & water protection in Metro Detroit
Start with the pattern
Tell us whether the leak happens during every rain, only wind-driven storms or snowmelt. Photos of staining and the timing help focus the investigation. We review accessible areas rather than assuming one product solves the problem.
Match the repair to the entry point
Depending on findings, recommendations may include a cap, crown repair, masonry repair or coordination with a roofer for flashing and roof details. These are different jobs and are priced by their actual scope.
Water-repellent treatment
A compatible breathable treatment may be suitable for sound masonry after repair and preparation. It is not a substitute for correcting open cracks, failed flashing, structural problems or a deteriorated crown.
