Diversified Roofing Systems | Roofing Services in New Bedford, MA 02746

New Bedford's coastal climate is tough on roofing. The constant salt air accelerates rust on metal flashings, while our seasonal temperature swings and storms can cause the sealants and fasteners holding flashings in place to fail, leading to separation. Addressing flashing issues quickly is key to preventing major water damage inside your home.

It depends on the extent of the damage. For minor surface rust, a professional cleaning and resealing might be sufficient. However, if the rust has caused pitting, holes, or significant weakening of the metal, replacement is necessary for a lasting, watertight seal. We'll always provide an honest assessment and recommend the most cost-effective, durable solution for your New Bedford home.

Our process starts with removing the old, failed sealant and any compromised fasteners. We then properly resecure the flashing to the roof deck or wall using corrosion-resistant fasteners designed for our coastal environment. Finally, we apply a high-grade, flexible sealant that can expand and contract with temperature changes. This method addresses the root cause, providing a repair built to last through South Coast weather.
