Question Answers
Why is roof flashing lift a common problem for Chicago homes, and how do you fix it?
In Chicago, extreme temperature swings and high winds can break the sealant and loosen the fasteners holding roof flashing in place. This 'lift' creates gaps where water can seep in, leading to leaks and interior damage. We fix it by carefully removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, heavy-duty flashing sealed with premium, weather-resistant materials to ensure a tight, durable seal against our local elements.
What causes roof nail pops, and are they a serious issue for my Chicago home?
Nail pops are very common here due to the natural expansion and contraction of your roof decking with seasonal temperature changes. While a few might seem minor, they can compromise your roof's waterproofing by creating openings for moisture. For Chicago homes, this can quickly lead to water damage and mold. We address pops by safely removing the protruding nail, sealing the hole, and securing the shingle with a new fastener in a more stable location to restore integrity.
Can you handle both the roofing and masonry repairs needed after flashing failure?
Absolutely. As a full-service contractor, we're uniquely equipped to handle the combined damage. A leaking flashing often affects the chimney or wall masonry below it. We'll first repair the roof flashing to stop the water entry, then assess and repair any resulting masonry damage—like eroded mortar or stained brick—using materials and techniques suited for Chicago's climate. This integrated approach ensures the entire system is restored correctly.
