Leak Risk Profile
Hillside Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Hillside
The majority of leak calls we respond to in Hillside trace back to three locations: corroded valley iron, failed ridge cap bedding, or cracked and slipped Concrete Tiles. Everything else — skylights, penetrations, box gutters — accounts for a smaller but consistent share.
Why It Happens
Intermittent leaks are most often a wind-driven rain scenario — water entry that only occurs when wind drives rain horizontally against a specific roof section. Standard tile laps are designed for vertical rainfall — wind-driven rain at a low angle can penetrate laps that perform perfectly in normal conditions.
How We Fix It
Chimney flashing repairs are done in two stages: physical re-set of the step flashings into properly cut raggle grooves bedded in non-setting mastic, followed by a lead dress to the flashing face. Sealant-only repairs on chimney flashings are temporary measures.
