Roofing Repair Detroit MI | Call Wright Brown Roofing

In Detroit, roof flashing rust is often caused by moisture exposure from our humid summers and winter snow accumulation, combined with salt from road treatments. We fix it by first removing the rusted flashing, cleaning the area thoroughly, and installing new, corrosion-resistant aluminum or galvanized steel flashing sealed with high-quality waterproofing materials to prevent future issues.

For chimney flashing leaks common in Detroit's historic homes, we inspect the step flashing and counterflashing around the chimney base. We remove damaged sections, replace them with properly sized new flashing, and seal all joints with durable urethane or elastomeric sealant. We also check the chimney crown and mortar joints since Detroit's freeze-thaw cycles can worsen these leaks.

Detroit homeowners should regularly check for water stains on interior ceilings near chimneys or walls, visible rust or gaps in exterior flashing, and granules from shingles accumulating in gutters (which can indicate underlying issues). Before winter, inspect flashing after leaves fall, as debris traps moisture. We offer free seasonal inspections to help catch problems before they cause major damage.
