Getting a new roof should bring peace of mind—not puddles in your living room. At Brody Allen Exteriors, we take pride in top-quality installations, but we also know that unexpected issues can happen. If you notice a leak right after your roof replacement, here’s exactly what to do and what to expect.
This post outlines our fast, warranty-backed process so you know you’re covered. Whether you’re Googling “roof leaking after replacement” or want to know if it’s covered under warranty, you’re in the right place.
Step 1: Contact Us Right Away
Don’t wait. As soon as you notice a leak, call, email, or message us.
Quick action helps prevent additional damage and gives us a chance to get ahead of the problem before it worsens. Whether it’s a small drip or a bigger issue, we want to know immediately so we can jump into action.
Leaks can be stressful. That’s why we make it easy to reach us. You can:
- Call our office
- Send an email or submit a contact form on our website
- Send a photo of the issue to help us respond more accurately
Once we hear from you, you’re on our radar—and the clock starts ticking.
Step 2: We’ll Inspect the Roof ASAP
Our team will come out quickly and check what’s going on. We’ll look for signs of:
- Material defects
- Installation concerns
- External damage (like storm debris or falling branches)
The goal is to pinpoint the issue—fast. And we’ll explain everything we find, clearly and honestly.
Sometimes leaks aren’t even from the roof itself. A nearby chimney, attic vent, or siding issue can create water intrusion. Our experience allows us to look at your entire exterior envelope—not just the shingles.
As explained in Owens Corning’s roofing warranty guide, early inspection and documentation are critical when you suspect a roofing issue—especially if your home is new or freshly remodeled, early inspection and documentation are critical when you suspect a roofing issue—especially if your home is new or freshly remodeled.
You’ll get a full explanation, photos if needed, and a clear plan of action based on what we discover.
Step 3: Covered by Our Warranty
Here’s the good news: if the leak is related to our installation, we fix it at no cost to you.
Our labor warranty typically covers situations like this. We also help with any applicable manufacturer warranties if we suspect a product failure. Shingles, underlayment, flashing—if it was installed by us and isn’t performing like it should, we’re on it.
Some homeowners worry that roofing contractors disappear after the job is done. That’s not how we operate. We stand behind our work, and we’re not done until you’re fully satisfied.
Even better, our team knows how to navigate manufacturer warranty processes if materials are to blame. We’ll advocate for you, not just point fingers.
Step 4: Fast Fix, Clear Communication
If it’s our fault, we make it right. Fast.
We prioritize warranty repairs and post-install issues over new jobs because your satisfaction matters. We want to get things resolved so you can enjoy your new roof without stress.
If it turns out the leak is from something unrelated (like a tree branch, recent storm, or other external damage), we’ll still help you figure out what to do next. Whether that’s assisting with insurance claims, referring a repair partner, or guiding you through the next steps, we’re here to help.
Our communication is clear and honest. No ghosting. No confusing jargon. Just the truth and a plan.
Why Prompt Action Matters
Leaks can escalate quickly. Even small water intrusion can cause:
- Mold or mildew
- Insulation damage
- Electrical risks
- Interior ceiling stains or rot
- Damage to drywall or attic framing
That’s why we treat post-installation leaks seriously—because time matters. Letting us know right away allows us to resolve the issue before it causes bigger headaches.
In some cases, quick action might even reduce the amount of interior work needed. A leak caught early may require only minor patching—versus drywall replacement and mold remediation.
We’re On Your Side
We know it’s frustrating to discover a problem after a major home improvement project. But we want you to feel confident knowing that Brody Allen Exteriors is the kind of company that owns our work.
Transparency. Accountability. Fast response. That’s what we believe in.
If it’s our mistake, we own it. If it’s not, we’ll still help you find the best solution. You don’t have to go it alone.
Other Reasons You Might See a Leak After a New Roof
In rare cases, leaks after a roof replacement can be triggered by external factors that are totally unrelated to our installation, like:
- Sudden severe storms with flying debris
- Ice dams forming after an unexpected freeze
- HVAC or plumbing penetrations not related to the roofing system
- Gutter overflow from blockages
- Improperly sealed skylights or vents installed by another contractor
Even in these cases, we’ll help guide you through next steps. We won’t leave you wondering what to do.
Preventative Maintenance After a New Roof
Just because your roof is new doesn’t mean it’s invincible. Keep it in top shape by:
- Cleaning gutters at least twice a year
- Watching for tree limbs that could scrape or fall
- Inspecting after major weather events
- Having us do an annual check-up to catch small issues early
These little habits go a long way in making sure your roof performs its best year after year.
