Roofing Repair Cincinnati OH | Call Feldhaus Roofing & Siding

Flashing is the metal sealant installed around roof joints, chimneys, and vents to direct water away from these vulnerable areas. In Cincinnati, our freeze-thaw cycles and strong storms are the main culprits behind flashing failure. The constant expansion and contraction can cause the flashing to separate from the roof deck or lift, creating gaps where water can seep in and cause significant interior damage.

Look for visible gaps or lifting metal around chimneys, vents, or where roof planes meet. Inside your home, water stains on ceilings or walls near these areas are a major red flag. After heavy rains or during snowmelt, check your attic for dampness or light coming through seams. If you notice any of these signs, it's time for a professional inspection to prevent more extensive—and costly—water damage.

Our process starts with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage. For minor separation, we may be able to carefully reseal and secure the existing flashing. For widespread lift or corrosion, we recommend a full replacement. We remove the old material, prepare the roof deck, and install new, high-grade flashing using precise techniques and durable sealants specifically chosen to withstand Cincinnati's weather, ensuring a watertight seal for years to come.
