New Life Roofing | Roofing Services in Silvis, IL 61282

Our local climate is a big factor. The freeze-thaw cycles in the Quad Cities area cause roofing materials to expand and contract. Over time, this movement can push nails up (nail pops) and weaken the sealant on metal flashings around chimneys and vents, leading to separation and potential leaks. Our repairs specifically account for this movement to ensure a durable fix.

We don't just hammer it back down, as that often leads to a recurring problem. Our expert process involves carefully removing the old nail, sealing the hole with a durable roofing cement, and installing a new, longer nail in a fresh location nearby. We then seal the new nail head to create a watertight barrier that can withstand our local weather patterns.

First, we conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the separation and any underlying water damage. We then carefully remove the old, failed sealant and clean the area. Using high-grade, flexible sealants and flashing materials designed for temperature extremes, we re-secure and waterproof the joint. For severe cases, we may recommend a custom-fabricated flashing replacement for a permanent solution.
