Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a chimney flashing leak in Dunwoody homes, and how do you fix it?
In Dunwoody, chimney flashing leaks are often caused by aging sealant, weather damage from storms, or improper original installation. The flashing is the metal barrier that seals the joint between your chimney and roof. We fix it by carefully removing the old, failed material, inspecting the underlying structure for rot, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with durable, waterproof sealants. This precise repair stops the leak at its source and protects your home's interior.
Why are roof valleys so prone to leaking, and what's your repair process?
Roof valleys are critical drainage channels where two roof slopes meet. In our area, they handle heavy rain and can clog with debris like pine needles, causing water to back up under shingles. Wear over time also thins the valley material. Our repair process involves clearing all debris, assessing the valley liner's condition, and installing a new, reinforced valley system. We ensure proper sealing and water flow to prevent future leaks and protect the vulnerable intersection of your roof planes.
How can I tell if I have a chimney or valley leak versus another roofing issue?
While all leaks need professional diagnosis, signs often point to the source. Chimney flashing leaks typically show water stains on the ceiling or walls near the fireplace. Valley leaks often manifest as water dripping from the ceiling along the interior wall that aligns with the external valley line, especially during heavy rain. If you see these signs, it's wise to call us for an inspection. We'll pinpoint the exact entry point, as water can travel along rafters, and provide a targeted solution for your Dunwoody home.
