Questions and Answers
My chimney is leaking in Irvington. Could it be the flashing, and how do you fix it?
Yes, chimney flashing leaks are very common in our area due to wind-driven rain and seasonal temperature shifts that can loosen or corrode the metal. We inspect the existing flashing, remove any compromised sections, and install new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable, waterproof materials. Our repair ensures a tight, lasting seal specific to the construction of your chimney and roof to prevent future water intrusion into your home.
What are the signs of poor roof insulation causing moisture problems in my attic?
Common signs in Irvington homes include ice dams in winter, condensation or mildew in the attic, uneven heating/cooling in your living spaces, and unexpectedly high energy bills. Poor or missing insulation allows warm, moist air from your home to reach the cold roof deck, leading to condensation. We assess your current insulation, address any ventilation issues, and install proper insulation to stop this moisture cycle and improve your home's comfort and efficiency.
How quickly should I address a suspected roof leak in my Irvington home?
Act immediately. Even a small leak from flashing or elsewhere can lead to significant structural damage, mold growth, and insulation failure within a short time, especially with our local humidity. We offer prompt, thorough leak detection to find the true source—often not directly above the interior water stain—and provide a clear repair plan to stop the water and prevent secondary damage to your home's interior and framing.
