Memphis Premium Roofing provides professional roof leak repair in Memphis, TN for residential and commercial properties across the Mid-South. Most leaks we chase in Memphis end at masonry. A chimney, a parapet, a brick wall a roof dies into. Water is the symptom that got your attention. A joint that has opened is usually the thing that actually failed.
That changes how we look for it. We start in the attic or the top-floor ceiling and mark the wet framing before anyone climbs, because water travels down a rafter and appears far from where it entered. Then we work outward from the stain to the nearest interruption in the plane. On a Memphis house the nearest interruption is very often brick.
At a chimney the usual finding is not a hole. It is counterflashing that was surface-mounted to the brick face with sealant, then re-sealed twice more as the sealant aged, while the mortar joint behind it kept opening. Sealant is a five-year product doing a thirty-year job. The correct repair is a reglet cut into the joint, new metal set in and locked, and the joint repointed above it.
Parapets and brick gable walls behave the same way and cost more to get wrong. Water entering the top of an unreinforced wall saturates the masonry, freezes in January, and pushes the units apart from the inside. By the time it shows up as a ceiling stain the repair has grown from flashing into repointing and a new coping. Coping stones and crowns are usually the first casualties.
Field repairs are simpler and we price them that way. Cracked pipe boots, blown ridge cap, a valley where the metal was face-nailed, a nail pop that pushed a shingle up. Those are hours, not days, and a competent repair on a roof that still has years in it is almost always the better spend than an early replacement. We carry common Memphis shingle profiles on the truck so a small repair does not become a colour-match argument.
What we will not do is re-seal the same chimney a third time and call it solved. If the finding is that the flashing keeps failing because the masonry keeps moving, we say that in writing, quote the reglet and the repointing, and let you decide. A repair that we know will fail again is not a cheaper repair. It is the same repair sold twice.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — two 3/16-inch by 1-inch chimney anchor straps at the roof line, twelve-inch strap embedment into a masonry chimney, roof-deck subdiaphragm crossties in the perimeter bays, parapet height-to-thickness bracing ratio, wall anchors at six-foot maximum spacing, out-of-plane wall anchorage at 42 pounds per square foot — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Memphis and nearby communities including Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Millington.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof leak repair
The difference between roof leak repair that lasts and roof leak repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with two 3/16-inch by 1-inch chimney anchor straps at the roof line, twelve-inch strap embedment into a masonry chimney, roof-deck subdiaphragm crossties in the perimeter bays, parapet height-to-thickness bracing ratio, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Memphis job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Mid-South means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Memphis Chooses Memphis Premium Roofing
- ✓Every proposal states the new covering's dead load in pounds per square foot next to the load of whatever comes off, because Shelby County is a Seismic Design Category D jurisdiction and weight is not a decorative question here.
- ✓Our inspection report includes the chimney's anchorage at the roof line, the parapet's unbraced height and the deck fastening where it meets masonry, three findings that are almost never on a Memphis roof report.
- ✓We tear off rather than overlay, because a tear-off is the only hour in which the chimney straps, the deck fastening and the top of the wall are all visible at the same time.
- ✓We turn down tile on existing stick-framed houses unless a Tennessee-licensed structural engineer has written down what the framing can carry, and we will help you find that engineer.
