DP Roofing & Sheet Metal | Roofing Services in Clayton, MI 49235

This is a very common issue in our area. The freeze-thaw cycles of a Michigan winter can cause ice dams, which force melting snow and ice under your shingles. This, combined with any existing wear or minor damage, often leads to leaks as everything thaws in spring. We specialize in inspecting for and repairing this specific type of water damage to prevent further issues.

Moss thrives in Clayton's shaded, moist conditions and can lift shingles, causing leaks. We strongly advise against power washing, as it can damage shingles. Our professional service involves careful manual removal followed by applying a zinc or copper-based treatment at the roof's peak. This creates a protective barrier that washes down with rain, inhibiting regrowth for years and protecting your roof's surface.

A fall inspection is key. We recommend having us check for loose, damaged, or missing shingles, ensure your gutters are clear to prevent ice dams, and inspect flashing around chimneys and vents—common leak points. Addressing these minor issues before winter sets in is the most effective and cost-efficient way to avoid major water damage when the snow melts.
