Question Answers
Why is chimney flashing a common leak source for Burlington roofs?
Burlington's frequent wind-driven rain and seasonal temperature swings can cause the metal flashing around chimneys to loosen, crack, or corrode over time. This breaks the critical seal between your chimney and roof, allowing water to seep in. Ideal Roofing specializes in inspecting and repairing these vulnerable points with high-quality, weather-resistant materials suited for our local climate.
What's the best way to remove black algae stains from my roof?
The dark streaks on many Burlington roofs are Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our damp, shaded areas. We use a specialized, low-pressure cleaning solution that safely eliminates the algae and its roots without damaging your shingles' protective granules. Harsh pressure washing can void shingle warranties and cause damage, so professional, gentle cleaning is key.
Can you prevent algae from coming back after a cleaning?
Yes. After a professional cleaning, we can apply a zinc or copper-based treatment at the roof's ridge. When it rains, tiny amounts of these metals wash down the roof, creating an environment that inhibits algae growth for years. This is a highly effective, long-term solution for keeping your Burlington roof looking clean and well-maintained.
