Top 3 leak points

Dormer Flashing

 Dormers are common roof leak locations because they create multiple roof-to-wall transitions. Properly installed step flashing, counter flashing, and water-resistant detailing help direct water away from these vulnerable areas. 

Chimneys

 Chimneys are common roof leak locations because they create a large penetration through the roofing system. Proper step flashing, counter flashing, and water-shedding details help direct rainwater away from the chimney and protect the surrounding roof from water intrusion. 

Pipe Boots

 Pipe boots seal the area where plumbing vent pipes penetrate the roof. Over time, rubber seals can crack, split, or deteriorate from exposure to sunlight and weather, allowing water to enter around the pipe and potentially cause a roof leak. 

Proper Installation Matters

 Proper flashing installation is critical at roof penetrations and transitions. Experienced project oversight helps ensure flashing, pipe boots, and other vulnerable roof components are installed correctly to reduce the risk of future leaks.
