Owens Roofing: Local Roofing Services Serving Wilmington 28412

Wilmington's frequent rain and high humidity can cause the metal flashing around your chimney to corrode or the sealant to break down over time. This creates gaps where water can seep in, especially during our heavy coastal downpours. A proper inspection and repair of the flashing is often the key to stopping this type of leak.

First, contain the interior damage by placing a bucket under the drip and moving any valuables. Then, call a professional roofer like Owens Roofing for an inspection. It's crucial to address it quickly, as prolonged moisture in our humid climate can lead to mold and structural rot. We can perform emergency tarping and schedule a permanent repair.

While general wear can cause leaks, leaks originating near a chimney or roof protrusion are often flashing-specific. A telltale sign is water staining on interior ceilings or walls adjacent to the chimney. Our team performs a detailed inspection to pinpoint the exact source, whether it's failed flashing, damaged shingles, or another issue common to Wilmington homes.
