Q&A
Why does roof flashing fail so often on Philadelphia homes, and how do you fix it?
Philadelphia's mix of seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and older architectural details puts constant stress on flashing. We fix it by first removing compromised material, then installing new, high-grade flashing sealed with durable, flexible adhesives designed for our climate, ensuring a long-lasting barrier against water intrusion.
My gutters overflow even during average storms. What's the typical solution in Philly?
This often happens due to undersized gutters or insufficient downspouts on older homes here. Our local solution usually involves upgrading to a larger gutter profile and adding strategic downspouts to handle Philadelphia's peak rainfall, effectively directing water away from your foundation.
Can repairing flashing and gutters together prevent other common problems?
Absolutely. Addressing both as a system is key in Philadelphia. Proper flashing keeps water from seeping behind gutters, while adequate gutters manage runoff volume. This combined repair often prevents related issues like ice damming in winter, soffit rot, and basement moisture that we see frequently in the area.
