Stop Roof Leaks at the Source
Have you noticed water stains on your ceiling or moisture around your fireplace after a storm? Damaged or improperly installed chimney flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. Our experienced team specializes in professional chimney flashing repairs, protecting your home from water intrusion and costly structural damage.
For decades, we’ve helped homeowners resolve roofing issues quickly and effectively. When it comes to chimney flashing, precision matters. We use high-quality materials and proven installation techniques to ensure a tight, weather-resistant seal around your chimney.
Why Chimney Flashing Is So Important
Chimney flashing is the metal barrier installed where your chimney meets the roof. Its purpose is to prevent water from seeping into the gap between masonry and shingles. Over time, flashing can crack, rust, loosen, or separate due to:
Severe storms and high winds
Improper original installation
Aging roofing materials
Foundation settling or chimney movement
Corrosion and temperature fluctuations
If left unaddressed, damaged flashing can lead to wood rot, mold growth, interior ceiling damage, and even structural issues.
Our Chimney Flashing Repair Process
Valleys
The valleys are the places where two parts of a sloped roof join together. They often need roof repair in Nashville and the surrounding areas because it is common for debris and water to collect here.
- Drones: With a drone, we can accurately assess the condition of your roof from all angles.
- Moisture Meters: We use these devices to measure the moisture content in areas we suspect have been impacted by a leak.
- Infrared (IR) Scans: IR scanning detects heat and produces a thermal image, which is also useful in leak detection.
What a Roofing Professional Inspects
A Jason Shackleford Roofing roof inspection is a wholistic review of your entire roofing system from the top of your home to the foundation. Our trained estimators look at these key points as a part of their complete inspection. This may begin with a visual inspection from the ground, similar to one you might do yourself from time to time, but it certainly does not stop there. We continue by examining the following:
Flashing
Flashing is the metal used to seal the valleys, joints, and penetrations on your roof. It can come loose or rust, resulting in leaks. The whole point of flashing is to cover up weak points in your roof’s structure to prevent leaks, so when it fails, your roof is vulnerable.
You may notice that the places we check for problems are similar to the places where repairs are often required. Our goal during a roof inspection in Nashville and the surrounding areas is to get ahead of any problems you may have by sighting the earliest signs. If we can do this, we may be able to recommend a maintenance solution or care that will stave off severe issues or costly repairs.
Attic
It’s important to inspect your attic at least once every six months for signs of a problem. We also include attics in our professional inspections of your roof, as it is a key part of your roofing system and one of the easiest ways to see if something is wrong. Look for water damage, light shining through the ceiling or clear holes, and buckling or dips in the ceiling. The smell of mold or mildew is also a sign of a leak. To prevent structural issues, we may also check to ensure your attic is properly ventilated.
Don’t delay.
