Service Areas
Our roof repair services in Montgomery County and Frederick County Maryland.
Chimney's can hold water and allow it to form a small puddle or pond if not installed correctly. We usually suggest installing a cricket, which will deflect water away from the chimney. The concrete on top of the chimney can also cause leaks from cracks or missing flue caps.
Vent pipe collars have a rubber gasket that stretches around vent pipes. These gaskets usually rip and tear causing leaks in bathrooms and kitchens or as far as 10' away. Other leak issues can be caused when the pipe joints aren't properly sealed allowing water to run down the inside of the pipe where it leaks from a joint.
Ridge vents allow heat to escape from attics but high winds can cause them to lift up or blow off allowing rain and animals to enter. Most roof repair services install them with staples or nails and neglect to seal them. This allows them to work free from the roofing shingle to be blown off.
Caulking on flashing usually lasts for many years but when it begins to crack roof leaks can occur quickly and it can be difficult to spot.
Nail pops are difficult to spot on some roofs and usually cause small leaks at first. In time they can cause plywood to weaken and rot with no prior warning or signs of leaks.
Missing Shingles usually occur after high winds (30 MPH or more) catch the shingle and tear it from the rooftop. Usually the missing shingles can be found in your yard or the yard of a neighbor.
Drip edge is a metal flashing that acts as an extension of the roof. It does not "have" to be installed on every home but it helps to keep water from blowing behind the gutter and then leaking into the walls and soffits on homes. This photo shows that the drip edge was not installed along with the roofing when it should have been used.
Patch repairs may work until the roof can be replaced. We usually don't suggest wasting money on them though. A water proof tarp would work better than this attempted patch by a handyman. This repair was done improperly and caused more roof leak problems than before!
