Pittman-Waller Roofing | Roofing Services in Macon, GA 31204

Macon's temperature fluctuations and storm activity can cause the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights to expand, contract, and eventually pull away. This creates gaps where water can seep in. We fix it by carefully removing the compromised flashing, preparing the underlying surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing with proper sealing to create a watertight, durable barrier suited for our local weather.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Roof valleys are critical drainage channels, and leaks here are common in our area due to heavy rain and debris accumulation. We start with a detailed inspection to assess the valley lining and surrounding shingles. Often, we can perform a targeted repair by replacing the damaged valley metal or sealing compromised areas. If the leak has caused widespread rot or the roof is near the end of its life, we'll discuss if a section or full replacement is the more cost-effective, long-term solution.

Being proactive is key. After heavy rains, check your attic for water stains, damp insulation, or mold on the underside of the roof deck, especially near chimneys or where roof planes meet (the valleys). From the ground, look for rust streaks on flashing or missing, cracked, or curled shingles in the valley areas. If you see granules from your shingles in the gutters directly below a valley, it can indicate wear. When in doubt, a free inspection from our local team can give you peace of mind.
