Roof Leaks Roof is leaking in Knoxville, TN. Need to be Fixed. This Owner Chose to Replace His Roof Instead of Repairing It
Roof leak on an older roof. The customer wants to inspect to repair the roof, or is it time to replace it. Litespeed Construction did a roof inspection. There were numerous problems with this roof, and because the roof was around 20 years old, the homeowner chose to go ahead and replace this roof.
Litespeed Construction installed a brand new Owens Corning Oak Ridge Roof. The owner wanted to use a similar color to what was there, so we installed Driftwood Colored Shingles.

- 1Leaks Probably Occur at Flashing
The chimes cap may be leaking, but the more likely cause is the flashing looks bad. This type of flashing is called angle flashing and can leak unless adequately sealed during construction.
Go To Pin - 2Flash is Bad at This Wall
The angle flashing here makes it easier for this roof to leak. The chimney and the wall need to be reflashed to fix these leaks with step flashing.
This repair option is to reflash bot locations with new shingles and metal.
