Q&A
I have water dripping near my chimney after a rainstorm in Burlington. What should I do?
This is a common sign of failing chimney flashing, a frequent issue for local homes. We recommend a professional roof inspection to assess the flashing's seal and the surrounding shingles. Faircloth Home Specialist can pinpoint the leak source, repair or replace the damaged flashing, and ensure your roof is watertight again to prevent interior damage.
When is a roof repair enough, and when do I need a full roof replacement in Burlington?
It depends on the roof's age, the extent of damage, and the frequency of leaks. For isolated, recent damage from a storm, a repair is often sufficient. However, if your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles) and you're experiencing widespread or recurring leaks, a full replacement is a more cost-effective, long-term solution. We provide honest assessments to help you make the right choice for your home.
Can installing a skylight cause leaks on my Burlington roof?
Not when installed correctly by experienced professionals. A leaky skylight is almost always due to improper installation or aging seals. At Faircloth Home Specialist, we ensure the roofing membrane and flashing are integrated perfectly around the new skylight unit, creating a watertight seal that stands up to our local rain. Proper installation prevents the very leaks homeowners worry about.
