In our area, underlayment damage often starts subtly. Key signs inside your home include water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after heavy rain, or a musty smell in the attic. From outside, look for curling or buckling shingles, as moisture trapped beneath can cause them to warp. Since underlayment is beneath the shingles, a professional inspection from a local roofer like us is the best way to confirm and locate the damage before it leads to more extensive structural issues.

Chimney flashing is a common leak source in Lumberton due to thermal expansion and contraction from temperature swings, which can break the seal. Proper repair isn't just about caulk. We remove the old flashing, inspect the chimney base, install new corrosion-resistant metal flashing that's integrated with the roof underlayment, and seal it with high-grade urethane or membrane. This multi-step process addresses the root cause, ensuring a watertight seal that withstands our local weather for years to come.

Act quickly to prevent interior damage. First, safely contain any active drips inside. Then, document the location and any visible water marks. Avoid going on the roof yourself, especially if it's wet. The next step is to call a local professional for an inspection. At E Chavez Roofing, we'll schedule a prompt assessment to pinpoint the exact source—whether it's compromised underlayment, failed flashing, or another issue—and provide a clear, detailed plan for an effective and lasting repair.
