Old Brookville Roofing | Roofing Services in Glen Cove, NY 11542

Ice dams are prevalent on the North Shore due to our cold winters and fluctuating temperatures. They form when heat escapes from your attic, melting snow on the upper roof. The water then refreezes at the colder eaves, creating a dam that traps water and forces it under the shingles. We prevent this by improving attic insulation and ventilation to maintain a consistent roof temperature and by installing waterproofing membranes at the eaves during roof replacement or repair.

Frequent overflow with clean gutters often points to an issue with the roof's pitch or the gutter system's capacity. In our area, heavy downpours can overwhelm undersized or improperly sloped gutters. We assess your entire roof drainage system, ensuring gutters are correctly sized and pitched for optimal flow. We also check that downspouts are adequately placed and extended away from your foundation to handle the volume of water common in Glen Cove storms.

In many cases, yes. We perform a detailed inspection to assess the extent of water intrusion and damage to the roof deck and underlayment. Localized repairs often involve replacing damaged shingles, installing new ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys, and sealing any breaches. Our goal is to provide a lasting, watertight repair that addresses the specific damage while recommending ventilation upgrades to prevent future ice dams.
