Blanchard Roof Leak Repair by the Crew on the Roof
The crew follows the water to the opening and closes that opening. They do not patch a stain and leave.

The opening, found by this crew
A stain on a ceiling is where the water arrived, not always where it entered. The crew walks the slope above that room, checks boots, flashing, and valleys, and looks in the attic when the hatch is safe. They name the opening before they close it.
You are told what they found in plain words: a boot, a wall flashing, a valley, an open nail. The repair matches that finding. A different leak, found while they are up there, is a second sentence, not a surprise on the way out. Wind that drives rain up under a course is a different path from water that sits in a valley. The crew uses what you saw, which wall and which storm, to start at the likely opening, then confirms it on the slope and, when the hatch is safe, from underneath with a light. They do not seal three places to avoid choosing one. The opening they close is the one they can point to.
Closed by the same hands
The crew that traced the water does the close-up. They do not mark the spot for a later visit by someone who did not see the path. If the close-up needs a new boot or a new piece of flashing, that is the work they do that day when the part is on the truck, or they say when they will be back, and it is still them.
Rain in the forecast changes the order. They do not open more than they can close.
What you can do before they arrive
A bucket under the drip keeps the ceiling from getting worse. Move furniture if the drip is over it. The crew does not need you on the roof. If pets startle at nail guns, the leak repair is usually quieter than a tear-off, and they will say so.
If an insurance packet is already on the kitchen table, they will read what it says about the leak and compare it to the roof. They do not file the claim and they do not promise what will be paid.
Call while the drip is active if you can
An active drip is easier to trace than a stain that dried last month. Call (000) 000-0000, say which room, and say whether it happens in wind or only in a hard rain. The crew uses that to know where to start. The same crew stays on the trace until the opening is closed or they have told you the honest next job is larger than a leak repair. After the opening is closed, the crew tells you what to watch on the next rain: the same ceiling, and whether the drip returns. If it returns, you call the same crew. They already know the path they closed, so the second visit starts from that path instead of from a blank roof. A leak that needs a larger job is said in that same conversation.
