A skylight leak in Lowell is often due to failed seals or flashing damaged by ice and snow. We start by inspecting the sealant, flashing, and surrounding shingles. Repair typically involves resealing the perimeter with a durable, weatherproof compound and replacing any corroded or bent flashing. If the skylight itself is compromised, we may recommend a replacement to prevent future water intrusion into your attic or living space.

Valley leaks are common here due to heavy rain and debris accumulation. The best solution depends on the damage. For minor issues, we clean the valley and repair or reseal the flashing. If the valley is severely worn or incorrectly installed, a full replacement using a proper metal valley liner or woven shingle technique is often needed to ensure long-term waterproofing and proper drainage.

Absolutely. Proper gutter installation and cleaning are crucial for roof health in Lowell. Efficient gutters direct water away from your roof valleys, reducing the volume and speed of water flow through them, which minimizes wear and leakage. We recommend regular gutter cleaning to prevent debris backup and ensure your gutter system is correctly sized and sloped to handle our regional rainfall.
