Odom's Roofing | Roofing Services in Plainfield, NJ 07060

In Plainfield, the most common cause is often failed or aged sealant around the skylight flashing, exacerbated by our seasonal weather. We fix it by carefully removing the old sealant, inspecting and repairing any underlying flashing damage, and applying a new, high-grade waterproof sealant designed for our local temperature swings to ensure a long-lasting repair.

While they start as a cosmetic issue, those black streaks (Gloeocapsa magma algae) can trap moisture against your shingles in our humid climate, accelerating granule loss and shortening your roof's lifespan. Our professional cleaning safely removes the algae and applies a treatment to inhibit its return, protecting your investment.

We recommend acting quickly for both. A skylight leak can lead to interior water damage, mold, and compromised insulation. Algae growth, if left untreated, can spread and cause premature shingle deterioration. Addressing these issues promptly with our local expertise helps prevent more extensive and costly repairs down the line for your Plainfield home.
