Riehm George Roofing | Roofing Services in Yonkers, NY 10704

Flashing is the metal sealing around roof joints, chimneys, and vents. In Yonkers, consistent moisture can cause this flashing to corrode, creating tiny gaps. These gaps allow water to seep into your roof deck, attic, and walls, leading to interior leaks and potential mold. Our service involves a thorough inspection to identify corroded flashing and a precise repair or replacement using durable, weather-resistant materials to restore a watertight seal.

Ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes at the roof's edge, blocking drainage and forcing water under shingles. For Yonkers homes, prevention starts with ensuring proper attic insulation and ventilation to maintain a uniform roof temperature. Our expert assessment identifies heat loss points and we can install solutions like improved insulation, ventilation systems, or even a protective membrane under new shingles to prevent water infiltration and the structural damage ice dams cause.

Repairing existing ice dam damage requires a careful, multi-step approach. First, we safely remove any ice accumulation. Then, we inspect the underlying shingles, decking, and insulation for water damage. Typically, damaged shingles and compromised decking sections are replaced. We also address any interior leaks in the attic or ceilings. Finally, we implement the preventive measures mentioned earlier to ensure the problem doesn't recur next winter, giving your Yonkers home a long-term solution.
