Those dark streaks are usually a type of algae common in our humid Virginia climate. While it might look like just a cosmetic issue, it can actually degrade your shingles over time. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment, which safely removes the algae without damaging your roof. It's important not to use high pressure, as that can strip away the protective granules on your shingles. We can assess the extent of the growth and provide a cleaning service that helps restore your roof's appearance and longevity.

First, if safe to do so, try to minimize interior water damage by placing a bucket under the leak and moving any valuables out of the way. Then, call us for a storm damage inspection. We'll come out to safely assess the source of the leak—which could be damaged shingles, compromised flashing around chimneys or vents, or clogged gutters that caused water to back up. We provide a detailed report and a clear plan for repair. It's crucial to address storm leaks quickly to prevent mold, rot, and more extensive structural damage to your Fairfax Station home.

This is a common question after severe weather. Storm damage often appears suddenly and is frequently accompanied by specific signs like missing or creased shingles, granule loss in gutters, or dents on metal components. General wear and tear leaks usually develop more slowly and might be found in older, vulnerable areas like around aging sealant. Our inspection process is designed to pinpoint the cause. We'll look for the tell-tale patterns of wind, hail, or debris impact versus age-related deterioration, so you know exactly what you're dealing with and the most effective solution for your home.
