Flashing and Vent Repair
|
Many roof leaks in Stamford, CT start where something passes through or meets the roof: a chimney, a vent pipe, a skylight, a dormer wall or an exhaust fan. Cracked sealant, lifted step flashing, split vent boots and rusted counterflashing let wind-driven rain reach the decking, so an inspection checks each penetration in turn.
Common flashing and vent work Work may include chimney step flashing and counterflashing, vent boot replacement, skylight and wall flashing, sealing exhaust and attic vent openings, new drip edge where needed, and a close check after the repair is finished. Repair or replace? The right fix depends on the condition of the shingles around the penetration, the age of the roof and how often it has leaked. Ask the contractor to explain the choice before work starts. Call about flashing repair and say which chimney, vent or wall is leaking and how. |
