Emergency roof leak repair
Active water coming in now
Most leaks here start with a storm that did not look like it caused damage. The shingles are still in place, the roof reads fine from the ground, and water is getting in anyway.
Population about 46,683.
Midlothian sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country, and hail is the roof killer here in a way that is easy to underestimate. The stone rarely punches through a shingle. It bruises the asphalt mat beneath the granule surface, leaving a soft spot that sheds water for another season or two and then fails — which is why a leak in Ellis County so often traces back to a storm the owner had stopped thinking about. Insurers know the pattern and scrutinise the gap between storm date and claim, so the roofs that get paid for are the ones that were documented when the hail fell rather than when the ceiling stained. Wind arrives with the same systems and does the quieter damage: lifting tabs, breaking the seal strip underneath, and leaving a roof that looks untouched from the driveway.
