This is a common issue here. As snow and ice slowly melt, water can seep under shingles or find tiny cracks in aged flashing. If your attic insulation is uneven, it can also cause ice dams, forcing water back under the roof. We perform a detailed inspection to pinpoint the exact entry point, which is often at valleys, chimneys, or skylights, and provide a targeted, lasting repair.

Flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof valleys can separate due to temperature fluctuations, improper installation, or simple wear and tear. In our climate, expansion and contraction are major factors. We don't just patch it; we assess the surrounding area, remove the compromised flashing, and install new, high-quality material sealed properly to your roof's specific contours, preventing future leaks.

It depends on the extent of damage, the age of your roof, and the location of leaks. For isolated issues like a single leak from separated flashing, a repair is often sufficient. However, if you have multiple leaks, widespread granule loss, or your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles), a replacement may be more cost-effective. We offer honest assessments to help you make the best decision for your Plymouth Meeting home.
