In our area, the freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation put immense stress on chimney flashing. Over time, the sealant can crack, and the metal itself can corrode or pull away from the chimney bricks. We inspect for these specific failure points and repair or replace the flashing with weather-resistant materials designed for our local climate.

When we find rusted flashing, a simple patch often isn't enough. We remove the compromised sections entirely and replace them with new, corrosion-resistant metal (like aluminum or galvanized steel). We then integrate and seal the new flashing properly into the surrounding shingles to restore a watertight barrier and prevent future rust issues common in our humid environment.

Our local inspection focuses on the high-risk areas you've mentioned. We carefully examine all flashings—around chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys—for signs of rust, separation, or failed sealant. We'll provide a clear report on the condition and recommend any proactive repairs to stop small problems from becoming major leaks, saving you money and hassle down the line.
