Chimney Saddle & Valley Re-Flashing
The Challenge: Homeowner noticed damp drywall and peeling tape along the living room fireplace wall following continuous August downpours. A prior handyman repair had merely smeared black mastic over rusted metal.
The Permanent Solution: Our crew extracted the rusted sheet metal, custom-fabricated a 26-gauge galvanized chimney saddle diverter (cricket), installed self-adhering membrane along the brick-to-deck joint, step-flashed the chimney walls, and re-shingled the surrounding area.
Seminole Roof Longevity Near Lake Seminole and the Gulf
Because Seminole is situated between Lake Seminole's inland freshwater humidity and the marine atmosphere of the Gulf barrier beaches, roofs in this corridor experience frequent heavy condensation cycles. In unventilated attics, this moisture can become trapped against the underside of roof sheathing, promoting wood decay and weakening nail holding power.
We focus on balanced attic ventilation—ensuring intake soffit vents work in harmony with off-ridge or continuous ridge exhaust vents—to keep attic decking cool, dry, and structurally sound.
