Phelps Roofing | Roofing Services in Lexington, NC 27295

In Lexington, temperature fluctuations and seasonal weather can cause the materials around your chimney to expand and contract, breaking the seal. Chimney flashing is the critical metal barrier installed where the chimney meets the roof. Over time, this flashing can corrode, pull away, or have its sealant fail, allowing water to seep directly into your attic and walls. Phelps Roofing specializes in inspecting and repairing this vulnerable junction with durable, properly fitted flashing to prevent leaks.

Flashing separation often occurs at roof valleys, vents, or skylights due to improper installation, wind uplift, or material fatigue. This creates a direct path for water intrusion. Our repair process involves carefully removing the compromised section, inspecting the underlying deck for rot or damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing that is correctly integrated with your shingles. We use high-grade sealants and secure fastening methods to create a watertight, long-lasting seal specific to your roof's design.

Signs of flashing failure include water stains on interior ceilings or walls near a chimney, vent, or where roof planes meet, especially after rain. You might also see visible rust, cracks, or gaps in the metal flashing from the ground, or notice missing or lifted shingles around these roof penetrations. We recommend a professional inspection, as some damage isn't obvious. Phelps Roofing provides free, thorough assessments to identify flashing issues early, preventing more extensive and costly repairs to your Lexington home.
