Hytech Roofing Systems | Roofing Services in Greenwood, MS 38930

Chimneys are a major weak point because they penetrate the roof. In our climate, the constant expansion and contraction from heat and humidity can break the sealant and loosen the metal flashing. We see this often after heavy Delta rains. At Hytech, we inspect the entire chimney base, replace compromised flashing with corrosion-resistant materials, and install a new, watertight seal specifically designed to withstand our local weather patterns.

Flashing separates when the fasteners fail or the underlying roof deck shifts, which is common in older Greenwood homes. Poor initial installation can also be a factor. Our fix involves carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting the deck for rot or weakness, and securely installing new, properly-sized flashing. We use longer, more durable fasteners and sealants with high UV resistance to ensure the repair lasts through Mississippi summers and winters.

It depends on the extent of the damage. For minor separation or small cracks, a repair with specialized sealants might suffice. However, if the metal is extensively corroded, warped, or if we find evidence of recurring leaks, a full replacement is almost always the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution for your Greenwood home. We'll always provide a clear, honest assessment and explain why a repair or replacement is the best choice to stop your leak for good.
