A&K Roofing | Roofing Services in Covington, WA 98042

In Covington, our wet climate and freeze-thaw cycles can cause the metal flashing around your chimney to corrode, crack, or pull away from the roof deck. This creates a direct path for water into your attic. A&K Roofing fixes this by carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting the underlying structure for rot, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with a proper counter-flashing system and durable sealants to create a watertight seal that lasts.

Roof valleys are the channels where two roof slopes meet, and they handle a concentrated flow of rainwater and debris. Over time in Covington, this constant wear can degrade the valley lining (metal or woven shingles), leading to leaks. The best repair depends on the damage extent. For minor issues, we may reinforce the valley with specialized underlayment. For significant wear, we often recommend installing a new, open metal valley, which is highly durable and excellent at shedding water and debris away from your roof's vulnerable intersection.

Signs include water stains on your ceiling or walls near the chimney, dampness in the attic after rain, or visible rust/damage on the valley metal from the ground. Your first step should be to call a professional roofer like A&K Roofing for an inspection. Trying a DIY fix can often worsen the problem. We'll safely assess the damage from both inside your attic and on the roof itself to pinpoint the exact source of the leak and recommend the most effective, permanent repair for your Covington home.
