A targeted roof repair that protects your home from hidden water damage At Elsa Roofing, we always remind homeowners that the roof is a working system — and it needs occasional visual checks, especially after strong winds or storms. One of the most common trouble spots is the plumbing vent stack, a vertical pipe that exits through the roof. When the flashing around these pipes begins to fail, water can enter the home long before any ceiling stains appear. During this project in Georgina, our team was called in to inspect two plumbing stacks that had become compromised. Both flashings were damaged, several shingles had lifted, and parts of the roof deck were exposed — all conditions that can quickly lead to leaks if left untreated. We completed a targeted repair, which included: Removing damaged shingles and deteriorated flashing Repairing sections of exposed roof deck Installing new Duraflo plumbing stack flashings with black rubber boot seals Integrating new materials seamlessly into the existing roof system Fully sealing all components to ensure a watertight finish These repairs restored the roof’s integrity and provided long‑term protection against moisture infiltration. Homeowner Tip: Check your roof after major storms — especially around plumbing stacks, vents, skylights, and any roof penetrations. Early detection prevents costly interior damage and keeps your roof performing the way it should.
