American Metal & Roofing | Roofing Services in Lexington, SC 29073

In Lexington, skylight leaks are often caused by worn or damaged flashing seals, which can degrade due to our seasonal temperature shifts and sun exposure. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to identify the exact failure point. We then carefully remove the old sealant, replace any compromised flashing with durable, weather-resistant materials, and apply a high-grade sealant designed for our local climate to ensure a long-lasting, watertight seal.

The humid climate in Lexington is ideal for the growth of Gloeocapsa magma, the algae that causes black stains. Prevention starts with proper roof ventilation to reduce moisture. We recommend professional roof cleaning with a specialized, non-pressure treatment that kills the algae without damaging your shingles. For a permanent solution, we can install algae-resistant shingles or apply a protective zinc or copper strip at the roof's ridge, which inhibits future growth with each rain.

First, contain any interior water damage by placing a bucket and moving belongings. Then, call us for an emergency inspection. We prioritize storm-related repairs for Lexington residents. Our team will quickly identify the source—which may be a compromised skylight, damaged shingles, or clogged valleys—and provide a temporary patch to prevent further damage until we can schedule a permanent, high-quality repair tailored to withstand our local weather patterns.
