Knorr & Myers Roofing | Roofing Services in Loves Park, IL 61111

In our area, roof valley leaks are often caused by heavy snow, ice dams, and the accumulation of debris, which compromise the flashing and underlayment. At Knorr & Myers, we fix these leaks by first removing any debris, inspecting and replacing damaged flashing, and ensuring proper water-tight sealing. We use high-quality, ice-and-water shield materials specifically suited for our local climate to prevent future leaks and protect your home's interior.

Ridge cap damage is common here due to strong winds and thermal expansion/contraction from our seasonal temperature swings. This can loosen or crack the caps, leading to leaks and energy loss. Our repair process involves carefully removing the damaged caps, inspecting the ridge vent (if present) for blockages, and installing new, properly nailed ridge caps with high-wind rated sealant. This restores the critical ventilation and weather seal at the peak of your roof.

Key signs include water stains on interior ceilings or walls running from the roof's peak (ridge) or where two slopes meet (valley), especially after a storm. Externally, look for missing, cracked, or curling shingles in these areas, or visible rust on metal flashing. If you notice any of these issues, we recommend a professional inspection. Our team at Knorr & Myers can quickly identify the source and provide a clear assessment and solution tailored to your specific roof.
