Kayhoe Roofing | General Contractors & Roofing in Orrtanna, PA 17353

A key connection many homeowners miss is between the chimney and the roof. During a professional cleaning, we inspect the chimney flashing—the metal seal where the chimney meets your roof. In Orrtanna, freeze-thaw cycles from snow melt can compromise this flashing, leading to leaks. Our cleaning service includes checking and repairing this critical point, preventing water from seeping into your roof's underlayment and home.

Absolutely. It's a smart, proactive step. Often, the leak originates at the chimney. By scheduling a chimney sweep and inspection first, we can identify if damaged flashing or a compromised chimney structure is the root cause. This allows us to address the source of the problem during the roof repair, providing a complete, long-lasting solution rather than just a patch for the symptom.

We offer comprehensive chimney maintenance that directly safeguards your roof. This includes installing or replacing chimney caps to keep out moisture and debris, repairing or re-sealing the chimney crown (the top mortar layer), and, most importantly, ensuring the flashing is watertight. These services are crucial in our climate to prevent the water intrusion that damages roof underlayment during our snowy winters and spring thaws.
