Q&A
Why is flashing corrosion such a common problem for Bronx roofs, and how do you fix it?
Bronx weather, with its humidity, rain, and temperature swings, accelerates corrosion on metal flashing, especially around chimneys, vents, and valleys. We fix it by first removing the corroded sections, preparing the underlying surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable, waterproof materials. Our goal is a repair that lasts, preventing the leaks that can damage your attic and ceilings.
My chimney is leaking. Is it always the flashing, and what does a repair involve?
While not always, chimney flashing is the most common culprit for leaks. We start with a thorough inspection to confirm the source. A repair involves carefully removing the old, failed flashing, applying a new waterproof underlayment, and installing new step and counter flashing that is properly integrated with your roof shingles and chimney masonry. This creates a watertight seal specific to your roof's pitch and materials.
What should I look for to catch flashing problems early before major leaks start?
Keep an eye out for early warning signs: rust streaks on your siding near the roof, cracked or peeling caulk around flashing joints, or missing granules on shingles adjacent to chimneys or walls. Inside, check your attic for daylight visible around flashing or any moisture stains. Scheduling a routine professional inspection can identify and address minor corrosion before it becomes a major leak.
