In our climate, the most common cause is corrosion from repeated freeze-thaw cycles and moisture exposure, especially around chimneys and vents. We fix it by first removing the compromised flashing, treating any underlying wood rot, and installing new, high-grade metal flashing sealed with durable, weatherproof materials to prevent future leaks.

Prevention starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof's temperature even. We recommend a professional inspection to assess your current setup. If ice dams are already a recurring issue, we can install ice and water shield—a self-adhering membrane—along the eaves beneath your shingles as a critical line of defense against water infiltration.

Key local signs include water stains on interior ceilings or walls near the roof's edge or chimney, visible rust or gaps in the metal flashing from the ground, and granules from your shingles accumulating in gutters directly below flashing points. If you see these, it's time for an inspection to prevent more extensive structural damage.
