Hinkle Roofing | Roofing Services in Sandusky, OH 44870

Common signs include sagging roof lines, dark stains on your ceilings, and a spongy feeling when walking on the roof. In Sandusky, this rot often starts from undetected leaks behind failing flashings or ice dams. It's urgent because rotten decking compromises your roof's structural integrity, leading to more extensive and expensive damage if not addressed promptly by a professional.

We perform a thorough inspection of all flashing points—around chimneys, vents, and valleys—which are common failure points in our area. Repair involves removing the compromised material, sealing the underlying area, and installing new, high-grade flashing sealed with professional-grade sealants. For prevention, we ensure proper installation techniques and recommend regular inspections, especially after severe weather, to catch minor issues before they lead to leaks.

We tackle this systematically. First, we secure a temporary water barrier if needed. Then, we remove the damaged roof sections to fully assess the decking. All rotten wood is replaced with new, treated plywood. Finally, we install new underlayment and shingles, with meticulous attention to installing new, robust flashing at all critical junctions. This integrated repair addresses both the symptom and the root cause, restoring your roof's strength and water resistance.
