This North Chesterfield homeowner reached out to Retex after noticing a leak in the attic following a heavy rainstorm at the end of April. Retex’s Mark Erickson stopped by on May 1, and by May 5, our Retex repair team had replaced the flashing, damaged plywood, and surrounding shingles around the chimney to fix the roof leak issue.


While flashing is meant to divert water away from the walls and chimneys of your home, it is often overlooked and its replacement sometimes skipped during a roof installation, making it one of the most common causes of roof leaks we find when assessing a roof for a repair. To avoid that headache, we replace all chimney and step flashing when installing a new roof. 


Need an assessment for your roof? Noticed water spots on the ceiling near your chimney? Give Retex a call for a no-pressure, no-cost estimate today: 804-258-6300.
