Woodstock Valley Roofing & Waterproofing | The Hired Hammer

Flashing separation often occurs when water seeps behind the metal strips at roof joints and valleys. Our waterproofing installation involves applying specialized membranes and sealants around these critical areas to create a continuous, watertight barrier. This prevents moisture intrusion that can cause the flashing to loosen or corrode over time, which is a common issue with our local freeze-thaw cycles.

Moss thrives in damp, shaded conditions. Our moisture control repair focuses on correcting the underlying environment that allows moss to grow. This includes clearing debris from valleys, ensuring proper attic ventilation to reduce surface moisture, and repairing any compromised underlayment or sheathing. By managing the roof's moisture levels, we create an inhospitable environment for moss, protecting your shingles from deterioration.

In most cases, it's both. Leaks at penetrations like chimneys are typically due to failed step flashing or cracked sealant. Our repair process starts by carefully removing the old, separated flashing. We then install new, properly integrated flashing and follow up with a layer of high-grade waterproofing membrane and sealant over the entire connection point. This two-part approach ensures a long-lasting seal against Woodstock Valley's rain and snow.
