Roof Flashing Repair in Leavenworth, KS
Repair the roof details around chimneys, walls and valleys. Sound metal, proper overlaps and the adjoining roofing need to manage water together.
Keep water moving at roof intersections
Flashing is the metal or membrane detail that moves water past a break in the roof surface. At a wall, step flashing follows the shingle courses. At a chimney, the base flashing and counterflashing work together so water stays outside the joint.
A loose edge or rusted section matters because it opens a route behind that protection. Covering the joint with sealant can leave the failed overlap or loose wall connection in place. A useful repair restores the way the materials shed water.
Chimney and wall flashing options
The repair scope follows the detail that failed.
Repair the assembly around the metal
A flashing repair is only as useful as the materials it connects.
Open the affected roofing
Expose the failed metal and enough adjoining covering to understand the overlap and underlying condition.
Restore the water path
Install compatible flashing and protective layers in the correct direction, tied into sound material.
Resolve adjoining damage
Account for deck repairs and any siding or masonry scope needed for the roof detail to function.
