Thompson Roofing | Roofing Services in Ionia, MI 48846

Our local climate, with its significant moisture, snow, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, puts constant stress on roof flashings, especially around chimneys and valleys. This environment accelerates corrosion on metal flashings, which can then lead to leaks into your home. We use and install corrosion-resistant materials and ensure proper sealing to combat this specific Michigan weather challenge.

We start with a thorough inspection to identify the exact point of failure—often where the flashing has corroded, separated, or been improperly sealed. Our repair involves carefully removing the compromised section, cleaning the area, and installing new, high-quality flashing that is correctly integrated with your chimney and roof shingles. We ensure a watertight seal to prevent future leaks, addressing the root cause common in our area.

For longevity in Ionia's conditions, we typically recommend and use durable materials like galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper for flashings. These materials offer superior resistance to the corrosion caused by our wet climate. During installation, we also apply appropriate sealants and ensure proper overlaps to create a robust, long-term barrier against water intrusion.
