Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I have a leak around my roof skylight in Erie?

First, contain any interior water damage safely. Then, contact a professional like Emling Contracting. In Erie, skylight leaks are often due to failed seals or flashing compromised by freeze-thaw cycles. We'll inspect the sealant, flashing, and surrounding shingles to pinpoint the issue and perform a repair that withstands our local weather, preventing future leaks.

Why does roof flashing rust so quickly on homes in Erie, and how is it repaired?

Erie's proximity to Lake Erie leads to higher moisture and salt exposure in the air, accelerating rust on metal flashing. We assess the extent of the rust damage. For localized issues, we can often repair and seal the affected area. If corrosion is widespread, we recommend replacing the flashing with modern, corrosion-resistant materials to provide a durable, long-term solution for your roof.

How can I tell if my roof flashing needs to be repaired or replaced?

Look for visible rust streaks, cracks, or lifting at joints near chimneys, vents, or walls. Inside, check for water stains on ceilings or walls in these areas. For an accurate diagnosis in Erie's climate, it's best to have a professional inspection. We can determine if a targeted repair will suffice or if a full replacement is necessary to ensure your roof's protection is complete.
