Home / Our work / Harrisburg repair, then replacement
Our work · Harrisburg, PA
We tried repairs first.
When they weren’t enough, we said so.
This older Harrisburg home had a leak coming through the ceiling. We started with repairs, because that's what we always try first.
What was wrong
Water was coming through the ceiling. On the flat roof there was an old hatch opening, and the transition up to the slate slope was failing.
What we did
First we closed the old opening with plywood, patched it and sealed it. A couple of weeks later we added more patches at the slate transition.
The leak kept coming back. So we said it plainly: more patching wasn't going to hold. With the owner's OK, we tore off the slate slope and replaced it with new asphalt shingles, and covered the flat roof with new rubber.
