In Durango, flashing failure often shows up as water stains on interior ceilings or walls, especially near chimneys, vents, or valleys. After a heavy snow melt, you might notice drips or damp spots in the attic. Externally, you may see lifted, cracked, or corroded metal flashing. These issues are common here due to freeze-thaw cycles and high winds. A professional inspection can pinpoint the exact problem before it leads to more extensive water damage.

This is a very common scenario in our climate. Snow and ice can act as a temporary seal, covering small cracks or compromised areas. As the snow melts, water finds its way through these openings. The issue often originates at flashing points, under shingles damaged by ice dams, or in valleys where water concentrates. An inspection during or right after the melt can identify the entry point for a targeted, effective repair.

Given our heavy snow, UV exposure, and temperature swings, we recommend materials with proven durability. For repairs, we use ice and water shield in critical areas, high-temperature roofing cement, and corrosion-resistant flashing metals. For full replacements, impact-resistant architectural shingles or metal roofing are excellent choices for longevity. Our methods always include proper ventilation and insulation to prevent ice dams, which are a primary cause of leaks and flashing issues here.
