Q&A
Why is chimney flashing such a common leak source for Orefield homes?
In our area, the constant cycle of freezing and thawing, combined with heavy rain and snow, puts tremendous stress on the seal between your chimney and roof. Over time, this can cause the metal flashing to warp, crack, or pull away from the masonry, creating a direct path for water into your attic. Schell Roofing specializes in repairing and resealing these vulnerable areas with durable, weather-resistant materials designed for Pennsylvania's climate.
How can I tell if my roof's step flashing is separating?
Look for subtle signs inside and out. Inside your attic, check for water stains or moisture on the sides of your chimney or along walls where the roof meets a dormer. From outside, you might see lifted, bent, or corroded metal pieces along the roof-to-wall joints. In Orefield, if you're noticing leaks after heavy wind-driven rain or during snowmelt, step flashing failure is a likely culprit. We offer free inspections to accurately diagnose this common local issue.
What's involved in a professional flashing repair to prevent future leaks?
A proper repair is more than just a quick sealant application. Our process involves carefully removing the compromised flashing, inspecting the underlying roof deck and structure for rot or damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing that's properly integrated with your existing shingles. We use high-grade metals and sealants suited for our local weather to create a watertight, long-lasting barrier. This comprehensive approach addresses the root cause, not just the symptom, to protect your Orefield home.
