Properly installed and sized gutters are your roof's first line of defense. In our area, clogged or failing gutters cause water to overflow and cascade down the siding, which can seep behind it and saturate the roof decking and underlayment. By installing a seamless gutter system with adequate downspouts, we ensure water is channeled safely away from your home's foundation and exterior walls, protecting the critical underlayment layer beneath your shingles from premature rot and damage.

A chimney flashing leak often means water is traveling down behind your siding, not just at the roof-chimney joint. To properly fix the leak, our technicians may need to remove and repair sections of siding around the chimney to fully access and seal the compromised flashing. We then reinstall or replace the siding with a proper weather-resistant barrier, ensuring the repair is complete and water can't find a new path into your home's structure.

It depends on the gutter's condition and its role in the leak. Often, faulty gutters direct water toward the chimney area, exacerbating flashing problems. During our inspection, we'll check if your gutters are sagging, leaking, or incorrectly pitched. If a simple repair and cleaning will solve the water management issue, we'll recommend that. However, if the gutters are old or damaged, a full replacement with a system designed to handle Framingham's rainfall may be the best long-term solution to work in tandem with the flashing repair.
