DECARR ROOFING | Roofing Services in Syracuse, NY 13212

After a storm, look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges where wind uplift is strongest. You might also find granules from shingles in your gutters or downspouts. For a safe and thorough assessment, it's best to have a professional like DECARR ROOFING inspect your roof. We can identify less obvious damage to the underlayment or flashing that could lead to leaks.

Chimney flashing is a critical seal where two different materials (your roof and chimney) meet. In Syracuse, constant freeze-thaw cycles and temperature extremes can cause the metal to expand and contract, breaking the seal over time. This allows water to seep behind the flashing and into your home. Our team specializes in repairing or replacing worn chimney flashing with durable, properly installed materials to prevent future leaks.

First, contain the interior damage by placing a bucket under the leak and moving any furniture or belongings out of the way. If safe to do so, you can temporarily mitigate water entry from the attic. Then, contact a local roofing professional immediately. For Syracuse residents, DECARR ROOFING offers prompt leak investigations to find the source—often wind-damaged shingles or failed flashing—and provide a repair plan to stop the water and prevent mold or structural issues.
