Almeida Roofing | Roofing Services in Medford, NY 11763

Chimney flashing is a critical seal where your chimney meets the roof. In Medford, constant exposure to wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations can cause the metal to corrode, crack, or pull away from the chimney bricks. Poor initial installation is also a frequent culprit. We inspect the entire flashing system, repair or replace damaged sections with durable, weather-resistant materials, and re-seal it to prevent the next storm from causing water damage in your attic or ceilings.

First, try to contain any interior water damage. Then, call a professional roofer like us for an inspection. Skylight leaks in our area are often due to failed sealant around the frame, cracked glass, or issues with the step flashing integrated into the shingles. A temporary patch is rarely a lasting fix. We'll identify the exact failure point—whether it's the skylight itself or the roofing around it—and provide a precise repair that addresses the root cause to prevent recurrence.

Look for clues inside your home. Water stains or drips on the ceiling or walls directly adjacent to the chimney or running down from the skylight well are strong indicators. During a storm, you might see active dripping from these areas. However, water can travel along roof decking or rafters, so the entry point may be elsewhere. The safest approach is to have us perform a diagnostic inspection. We'll trace the leak's path on your roof to pinpoint the exact source, whether it's a compromised flashing detail or a failing skylight seal.
