Century Roofing | Roofing Services in Scituate, MA 02066

The constant freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation on the South Shore put immense stress on roof valleys, which handle a large volume of water. Debris buildup and worn or improperly installed flashing are common culprits. Our fix involves a thorough cleaning, assessment of the underlying decking for water damage, and a precise repair or replacement of the valley flashing using durable, ice-and-water shield materials to prevent future leaks.

While deteriorated or poorly sealed chimney flashing is the most frequent cause of leaks in Scituate, it's not the only possibility. We always perform a comprehensive inspection that includes the chimney's masonry (for cracks in the mortar or crown), the chimney cricket (if present), and the step flashing and counter-flashing system. This ensures we identify the true source—whether it's the flashing, the chimney structure, or both—and provide the correct, lasting repair.

After major storms and in the spring and fall, safely check your gutters for excessive granule loss or shingle debris, which can indicate wear. From the ground, look for missing, cracked, or curling shingles, especially in valleys. Also, inspect the areas around your chimney and any roof protrusions for visible rust, gaps, or lifted metal on the flashing. If you see stains on interior ceilings or in your attic near these areas, it's time to call us for a professional assessment before a small issue becomes major damage.
