What we find doing roof repair in Des Plaines
Split-level roof-to-wall transitions generate a disproportionate share of repair calls here, because a great many were originally detailed with one continuous strip of metal rather than properly woven step flashing.
Continuous metal where step flashing belongs
It works for a few years and then it does not. Correcting it means opening the courses along the wall and doing it properly, which is more work than a patch but it ends the problem.
River-corridor discharge
Near the floodplain we look at gutters and downspout discharge before blaming the roof, because saturated ground around a foundation here is far less forgiving.
Open-terrain wind near O Hare
There is little shelter in this part of the northwest suburbs, and damage concentrates at the ridges and rakes rather than in the field of the roof.
