This is a very common issue here. During winter, snow and ice accumulate on your roof. As it melts and refreezes, water can work its way under shingles and into small cracks. When a final, rapid thaw occurs, all that trapped water is released at once, often finding its way into your attic or ceilings. Our team is experienced in tracing these leaks back to their source, which is often around flashing, vents, or in valleys where water pools.

Nail pops, where roofing nails back out and become visible, are frequently caused by the wood in your roof decking expanding and contracting with our temperature swings. While a few might just be cosmetic, they can create openings for water to seep in, leading to leaks and wood rot. It's a good idea to have them inspected. We can securely reseal or replace popped nails and check the surrounding area for any hidden water damage.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a pre-winter inspection to check for vulnerable spots like worn sealant around flashing, damaged shingles, or clogged gutters that can cause ice dams. Ensuring your attic has proper ventilation also helps regulate temperature and reduce ice dam formation. Catching small issues early is far more affordable than dealing with major leak repairs after the thaw.
