Winston-Salem Roof Repair & Chimney Sweep | Flashing & Skylight Leak Experts

While they seem unrelated, a proper chimney inspection and cleaning are crucial for overall roof health. In Winston-Salem, moisture from a leaky chimney or damaged flashing can travel under shingles and contribute to leaks elsewhere, including around skylights. Our chimney sweep service includes a thorough inspection of the chimney crown and flashing. By ensuring your chimney system is watertight, we help eliminate one potential source of moisture that could be worsening or masking a separate skylight leak issue.

Regular fireplace and chimney cleaning removes highly corrosive creosote buildup. Over time, this creosote can deteriorate the mortar and bricks of your chimney structure in Winston-Salem's variable climate. A weakened chimney can shift or settle, putting stress on and potentially loosening the critical metal flashing that seals the joint between the chimney and roof. By maintaining a clean chimney, you help preserve the integrity of the entire structure, reducing the risk of flashing failure and the water damage it causes.

Absolutely. In Winston-Salem, failing roof flashing often directs water directly into your gutter system. If your gutters are clogged, damaged, or improperly pitched, that water can't escape efficiently. It may overflow, spill behind the gutters, and saturate your fascia and roof decking, mimicking or exacerbating the original flashing leak. When we repair your flashing, we always recommend a complimentary gutter inspection. Properly functioning gutters are essential for directing repaired runoff away from your home, completing the solution and preventing future issues.
