If your roof is leaking and the shingles look fine, look at the flashing. Metal flashing at roof transitions — where the roof meets a chimney, a wall, a skylight, or a vent pipe — is responsible for more residential roof leaks in Austin than any other single factor. Over time, caulk deteriorates, metal corrodes, and sealant fails. The repair is often straightforward, but it has to be done correctly.

Flashing failures are behind most of the roof leaks we repair in Austin. We find them and fix them correctly.
Shingles cover the field of the roof, but they cannot span the transitions — where a vertical surface meets the roof plane, or where one roof plane meets another. That job belongs to flashing. When flashing fails, water finds a direct path behind the roofing material and into the structure. Austin's thermal cycles — daily temperature swings of 30-40 degrees are common — accelerate the expansion and contraction that eventually cracks caulk and works metal loose from its bed.
We inspect all flashing associated with the leaking area — step flashing, counter flashing, chimney flashing, valley flashing, and vent boot flashings — to identify exactly where the failure has occurred.
Depending on the condition of the existing flashing, we either re-seal and re-bed it correctly, or remove and replace it entirely with new material if the metal has corroded or been improperly installed.
Repaired flashing is inspected for proper integration with surrounding roofing material and sealant application. Adjacent areas are checked for any related vulnerabilities.
Flashing repair sounds simple until you are tracing water through a complex chimney system or rebuilding a valley that was never installed correctly the first time. We have done this work throughout Austin and we bring the experience to get it right.
We know how water gets behind flashing and how to stop it — proper materials, proper technique, and no temporary fixes.

Have a stubborn roof leak in Austin that nobody has been able to solve? Contact us and let us look at the flashing.
If the leak is near a chimney, a skylight, a dormer, a vent pipe, or any roof-to-wall transition, flashing should be the first suspect. The absence of visible shingle damage is actually a strong indicator that flashing is involved. We inspect methodically to confirm the source.
It depends on the condition of the metal. If the flashing is sound but caulk and sealant have failed, re-sealing and re-bedding often solves the problem. If the metal itself is corroded, improperly installed, or has been bent out of position, replacement is the right call.
Done correctly with quality materials, flashing repairs are very durable. Pipe boot flashings typically last 10-15 years before the rubber degrades. Metal step and counter flashing, properly installed, should last the life of the roof.
