Yes, chimney flashing leaks are a very common issue for Gettysburg homes, often due to age and weather exposure. We repair this by carefully inspecting and resealing or replacing the metal flashing around the chimney base. For a lasting fix, we ensure it's properly integrated with your existing roofing materials to prevent future water intrusion.

While siding itself doesn't stop a roof leak, water from roof valleys or chimneys can run down and damage your siding, leading to rot or mold. During our siding repair or replacement services, we inspect the underlying structure for water damage from such leaks. We then address any rot, install proper moisture barriers, and ensure your new siding provides a complete, protective shell for your home.

Proper integration is key. When we build an addition or deck, we plan the roof pitch and drainage from the start to seamlessly tie into your home's existing system. This includes installing correctly sized gutters and downspouts for the new roof area and ensuring all flashing details are watertight. This proactive approach prevents common issues like improper drainage or leaks where the new structure meets the old.
