Flashing Deterioration
Roswell Flashing Repair
When the materials fail on a roof, leaks set in, and when leaks start, mold and mildew become problematic. When the problem is not fixed in a timely manner and the elements continue to eat away at vulnerable exposed areas, insects begin to find their way inside, speeding up the process of breaking down rotted wood.
One of the first places we’ll inspect are the most vulnerable areas on your roof, where roof projections, sections or slopes meet, to determine if the flashing used to make such junctions watertight is adequate, installed properly and still in good shape. We’ll check the felt stripping around metal flanges for splitting or separation. We’ll evaluate how well the roof drains, looking at the gutters, drain openings and scuppers, as well as the slope. We may suggest additional drains, repositioning of drains or installing overflow scuppers as part of the replacement or repair of your poorly draining roof.

Improper installation is a common problem and one of the best reasons to choose a reputable company like Cornerstone when you need a Roswell roofing repair. We’ll check to see if you have the correct number of plies in your flashing. We’ll look at the height, the protective coating on lap ends and seams, seals, adhesive, and insulation as well as improper fastening. We’ll also check to see if the counter flashings tightly fit to the base flashing as well as all flanges around pipes and small vents and other openings.
Clogged gutters back rainwater up, forcing it to sit stationary in destructive pools that eat away at the outer layer of a home’s roof. Early prevention, by clearing all gutters and drains of twigs and other debris that falls on a roof and gets washed into the gutter, can save big headaches later on.
