FAQs
How can I tell if my roof insulation has moisture damage in my Sandwich home?
Common signs in our area include higher-than-usual heating bills, visible water stains on ceilings or in attics, a musty smell, or even mold growth. The salty, humid air on Cape Cod can exacerbate these issues. We recommend a professional inspection, especially after heavy coastal storms, to assess insulation integrity and attic ventilation.
Why does roof flashing corrode faster here on Cape Cod, and how is it repaired?
The salt air and moisture in Sandwich accelerate the corrosion of standard metal flashings around chimneys, vents, and valleys. Matt Gagnon Roofing addresses this by using corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum or coated metals for replacements. Our repair process involves carefully removing the damaged flashing, preparing the surface, and installing a new, durable seal to prevent leaks.
What routine maintenance can help prevent these common roofing problems in Sandwich?
We advise Sandwich homeowners to schedule bi-annual inspections, typically in spring and fall. We'll clear debris from valleys and gutters, check for loose or corroded flashing, and ensure attic vents are unobstructed to promote proper airflow. This proactive approach helps manage moisture and catches minor corrosion before it leads to significant damage.
