Roof Repair on Rochester, MN home

Here we can see the extent of repair made to the roofing leak.  Note the tar paper, Winterguard, and tin flashing to protect the chimney, and the metal diverter to help keep water, snow and ice off of the chimney.  Keep in mind that wide chimneys need to have a cricket built on the back side to divert water.  Another reason that home inspections are so important; the homeowners were unaware of any problem, and assumed their brand new roof was functioning perfectly.  They were very pleased with the fixes and the fact that the damage was caught early and kept to a minimum.
