In Greenville, flashing failure is often caused by our freeze-thaw cycles, which can loosen or crack the metal seals around chimneys, vents, and skylights. We fix it by carefully removing the compromised flashing, inspecting the underlying deck for water damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing sealed with high-grade waterproofing materials to prevent future leaks.

Nail pops are common here due to the natural expansion and contraction of roof decking with seasonal temperature swings. While a few might seem minor, they can break the shingle's seal, allowing wind-driven rain to penetrate. We address this by safely removing the popped nail, securing the shingle with a new nail placed correctly, and sealing it with roofing cement to restore the waterproof barrier.

Keep an eye out for interior signs like water stains on ceilings or in your attic, especially after heavy rain or snowmelt. Outside, look for cracked or rusted flashing, shingles that appear lifted, or visible nail heads. We recommend a professional roof inspection every few years, as we can identify and address small problems like failing flashing or early nail pops before they lead to major interior damage.
