Cherokee Roofing | Roofing Services in Murphy, NC 28906

In our mountain climate, temperature swings and heavy rain can cause the metal flashing around your chimney to expand, contract, and eventually fail or pull away from the roof. We fix this by carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting the underlying structure for water damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing sealed with high-grade waterproofing materials to create a durable, watertight barrier.

The most frequent culprit is worn or damaged shingles, especially around valleys and penetrations like vents, combined with compromised underlayment. Our process starts with a precise leak trace to find the exact entry point—not just the water stain inside. We then repair or replace the affected shingles and underlayment, ensuring proper sealing and overlap to prevent future leaks, even during our heaviest downpours.

Any leak allowing water into your home's living spaces should be addressed quickly to prevent mold, rot, and structural damage. Signs of an urgent issue include active dripping, spreading ceiling stains, or water near electrical fixtures. We recommend placing a bucket to catch water and calling us for a prompt assessment. For minor, isolated attic dampness after a storm, it's still wise to schedule an inspection soon to identify and fix the source before it worsens.
