Lion Roofing | Roofing Services in Des Plaines, IL 60018

In our area, the primary cause is the seasonal freeze-thaw cycle. Temperature fluctuations cause roofing materials to expand and contract, which can slowly push nails up (pops) and weaken the seals around flashing. Wind and general wear over time accelerate these issues. A professional inspection can identify vulnerable spots before they lead to leaks.

We start by thoroughly inspecting the affected flashing area to determine if it's a sealant failure, physical damage, or improper installation. Our repair process involves carefully removing the old, compromised sealant, cleaning the surface, and applying high-grade, weather-resistant sealants or replacing damaged flashing sections entirely to ensure a watertight bond that withstands local weather conditions.

A few isolated nail pops can often be repaired by resealing and securing them. However, if you're seeing many pops or they're recurring, it may indicate wider issues with the roof deck or installation. We assess the overall pattern and health of your roof to recommend a targeted repair or discuss if a more comprehensive solution is needed to prevent future problems.
