RtL Roofing & Remodeling | Roofing Services in Westerville, OH 43081

Common signs in our area include water stains on interior ceilings or walls near chimneys, vents, or skylights, especially after heavy rain. You might also notice rust on metal flashing, cracked or missing sealant, or visible gaps where the flashing meets the roof or a vertical surface. If you see any of these issues, it's best to have a professional inspection to prevent further water damage to your home's structure.

Our repair process starts with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the separation and underlying damage. We carefully remove the compromised flashing and any rotten decking. After preparing the surface, we install new, high-quality flashing material—often aluminum or galvanized steel for durability in Ohio's climate—and secure it with proper fasteners. The final, critical step is sealing all seams and edges with a professional-grade sealant to create a resilient, watertight barrier that will last.

Flashing is the critical waterproofing layer at roof transitions and penetrations, like chimneys, vents, and valleys. In Westerville, where we experience freezing winters, hot summers, and stormy springs, these areas are under constant stress from thermal expansion, contraction, and wind-driven rain. Properly installed and maintained flashing is your home's first line of defense, directing water away from vulnerable spots to prevent leaks, mold, and rot that can lead to costly structural repairs.
