Various Leaks Throughout The Home

    Missing Flashing At This Wall

    Ridge Vent Has Leaks

    The ridge vent over the garage has had some leaks along with the house. The nails at the end of the ridge vent are not sealed and are a perfect spot for water to leak through. When pulling up some of the ridge cap shingles, you can see the rusty nails, meaning the water has been getting in underneath the shingles.

    Chimney Flashing Needs Work

    The chimney flashing on this roof needs work on both the upper and lower portions of the roof. The top part of the roof has shingles bunched together. With these shingles bunched together like that, the shingles are not sealing correctly and allowing water to get in under the shingles. At the bottom of the chimney, the nails under the shingles are rusty, and the wood underneath feels soft. This section of woof will need to be replaced.
