Spring is critical in our area because winter snow and ice can cause hidden damage. As the snow melts, problems like ice dam damage or compromised roof valley flashings become apparent, leading to leaks. A professional spring inspection by our team can identify these issues early—like lifted shingles or damaged underlayment—before summer rains cause significant water damage to your home's interior.

It's all about your chimney's health. In Schenectady, a heavily used fireplace leads to creosote buildup inside the chimney. This can deteriorate the mortar (flashing) where the chimney meets your roof—a prime spot for valley-like leaks. Our thorough fireplace and chimney cleaning removes hazardous buildup and allows us to inspect the chimney flashing for cracks or gaps, which are a common entry point for water, especially during snow melt.

The most common cause here is failing or improperly installed valley flashing, which gets extra stress from heavy snow and ice. Over time, the metal can corrode or the seals can fail. We fix it by carefully removing the old flashing, repairing any underlying decking, and installing new, high-quality valley metal with proper sealing techniques. This creates a watertight channel to safely direct melting snow and rain off your roof.
