Rusty flashing is a common issue here due to our humid climate. We start with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the corrosion. Often, localized rust can be treated and sealed, but if the integrity is compromised, we expertly replace the damaged sections with new, durable flashing. Our goal is to restore a watertight seal around chimneys, vents, and valleys to prevent leaks and further structural damage to your Winsted home.

Prevention starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation, which we can evaluate for you. For existing ice dams, we safely remove the ice buildup to relieve pressure. The long-term solution often involves installing a waterproof membrane under your shingles along the eaves—a critical area for ice dam formation. This creates a secondary barrier, so even if ice dams form, melting water can't seep into your home, protecting your ceilings and walls.

In Winsted, winter leaks are frequently linked to ice dam damage, but they can also stem from compromised flashing or general wear. Our process involves a detailed inspection to pinpoint the exact source. We'll check for telltale signs of ice dam water intrusion, often in the attic along the eaves, and examine all flashing points. Once we identify the root cause—whether it's ice-related or another issue—we provide a clear repair plan to fix the leak and address the underlying problem.
