A typical leak after a nor'easter in Hempstead
- What homeowners notice
- A household sees a stain on a bedroom ceiling the morning after a nor'easter. The stain has grown since the storm, and a bucket is catching the drip.
- What we do
- The roofer follows the wet wood in the attic from the stain to the highest point of the route, finds a failed flashing joint at a vent and tests it with water from a safe position before renewing the flashing.
- What to expect
- The test confirms the joint, the repair holds on the follow-up check and the homeowner is given a note listing the vent and the parts to watch after the next storm.
