Roof Repair and Flashing Installation in Johnson City, TN

When a homeowner in Johnson City, TN, called us out to inspect an active leak between her sunroom and the back of the house, we quickly conducted a thorough evaluation. Our inspection revealed that the root cause of the leak was improper flashing during the construction of the sunroom addition. This lack of proper flashing allowed water to seep through the roof, resulting in the leak.

To fix the issue and prevent further damage, we carried out the necessary roof repairs. The following steps were taken:

• We removed four rows of shingles above the eave line of the sunroom, providing access to the affected area to address the flashing problem.
• A self-adhering ice/water shield was installed to provide an added layer of protection against water infiltration. This shield acts as a barrier to prevent any water from seeping through and causing leaks.
• Proper counter flashing was installed to effectively divert water away from the vulnerable area where the sunroom and the house connect, protecting the gap between the two structures.
• New shingles were installed to restore the roof’s aesthetic appeal and functionality. These new shingles were carefully selected to match the existing roof, ensuring a seamless and uniform look.

By addressing the root cause of the leak and carrying out the necessary repairs, we’ve successfully resolved the issue. The homeowner can now enjoy a leak-free sunroom and rest easy knowing the roof has been properly flashed and protected against future leaks.

As always, we recommend regular roof inspections and maintenance to prevent potential issues from escalating. If you have any concerns or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
