In Des Moines, the first signs are often granules accumulating in your gutters or downspouts, especially after heavy rain or wind. You might also notice bare, darker spots on your asphalt shingles or an uneven, blotchy appearance on your roof. Since granule loss exposes the underlying asphalt to UV rays and moisture, addressing it early is key to preventing more extensive damage common in our wet climate.

Our area's persistent moisture, thermal expansion/contraction from temperature swings, and wind can loosen or corrode flashing over time, especially around chimneys, vents, and skylights. A proper fix isn't just a patch; it involves removing the compromised section, sealing the underlying deck, and installing new, properly integrated flashing with durable sealants. We ensure it's overlapped correctly with shingles to shed water effectively, which is crucial for preventing the leaks Des Moines homeowners often experience.

It's quite urgent. What starts as minor granule loss or a small gap in flashing can quickly escalate in our climate. The exposed underlayment or decking can absorb moisture, leading to wood rot, mold, and interior water damage. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection promptly. Addressing these issues early with a targeted repair is far more cost-effective than dealing with the structural damage that can follow a neglected leak.
