In our Birmingham climate, the most common cause is the expansion and contraction of roofing materials due to temperature changes, which can break the sealant or loosen the flashing over time. Heavy rain and wind can then drive water through these small gaps. A proper repair often involves removing the old sealant, inspecting the metal flashing for corrosion or damage, and re-securing it with new, high-grade sealants designed for our local weather conditions.

Nail pops are very common here due to the natural movement of your roof decking with humidity and temperature changes. When a nail works its way up, it can compromise the shingle's seal and create a potential entry point for water. Yes, they should be addressed. We typically remove the affected shingle, secure the decking, and replace the old nail with a new one in a slightly different location, then reseal the shingle to prevent future leaks.

While the source can be tricky to pinpoint from inside, leaks from chimney flashing often show water stains on the interior ceiling or walls near the chimney. After a storm, check your attic for moisture trails running down from the chimney area. For a definitive diagnosis, it's best to have a professional inspection. We can safely examine the flashing, check for cracked mortar, and identify if the leak is from flashing, nail pops, damaged shingles, or another common Birmingham-area issue.
