Photo Album: A Leaky Pipe Leads to a Long-Lasting Roof Replacement in Danbury, CT

This homeowner in Danbury, CT, was dealing with a leak in his ceiling. Inspector Chase traced the issue to a pipe with cracking sealant, which had caused a large brown stain on the roof. Beyond being unsightly, the water damage was a ticking time bomb for structural decay and tons of mold growth. Project Manager Bill and his expert crew replaced the entire roof decking and shingles while also fitting the offending pipe with strong flashing to prevent future leaks. Now, this homeowner can rest assured that his roof will remain sturdy and leak-free for decades to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

Old Pipe Stains: Before

Water leaking from cracks in this pipe has left a large brown stain on the roof. The discoloration is often a mix of rust from the pipe, dirt, and other debris carried by the water as it seeps out. With each passing hour, the ongoing leak increases the risk of mold growth.

The Shingles Are Removed

The crew starts the first step of the roof replacement by stripping off the old shingles. This reveals the plywood underneath, which is known as the decking. The decking is the structural base of the roof and will need to be examined for any evidence of rot, decay, or mold.

New Plywood Is Laid Down

Due to severe water damage from the leaky pipe, our expert team determined that all of the decking on the homeowner's roof needed to be replaced to provide a solid foundation for the new shingles. The crew carefully measures and secures each new sheet of plywood to the rafters.

Underlayment Starts to Be Installed

As crew members on the east side of the house finish replacing the decking, crew members on the west side begin applying the underlayment - a thin, waterproof layer that shields the new plywood from ice, water, and snow.

Completed Shingle Installation

Once the underlayment is fully applied to both sides of the house, the crew installs the new, heavy-duty IKO Dynasty shingles in Granite Black - one of our most popular color choices.
