Flashing and Vent Repair

Cracked vent boots, rusted or lifted flashing, gaps at chimneys and walls, worn sealant around skylights and loose roof vents let water in and can damage ceilings and insulation. A focused inspection shows whether the problem is in the flashing, the boot, the sealant, the nearby shingles or the decking below.

Common flashing and vent repairs
Work may include vent pipe boot replacement, step and counter flashing, chimney and wall flashing, skylight flashing, drip edge repair, resealing roof vents and a water check after the work is done.

Repair or replace?
The right choice depends on the roof's age, how often the area has leaked and whether nearby shingles can be reused. Ask the contractor to explain repair versus replacement before work begins.

Ask about flashing repair and say which vent, chimney or skylight area is leaking.
