Peter T Surapine | Roofing Services in Enfield, CT 06082

In our area, skylight leaks are often caused by failed sealant or flashing that has shrunk or cracked due to temperature swings. We start by thoroughly inspecting the perimeter, clean the area, and apply a new, high-grade sealant designed for our Connecticut climate. If the flashing is compromised, we'll carefully replace it to ensure a watertight seal, preventing further water damage to your ceilings and attic.

Moss is more than just unsightly; it's damaging. Moss holds moisture against your shingles, accelerating granule loss and causing wood rot in the decking underneath. For Enfield homes, especially on shaded north-facing slopes, we recommend professional, gentle removal. We avoid high-pressure washing, which can damage shingles, and instead use safe cleaning solutions and manual methods to eradicate the moss and may apply a zinc-based treatment to prevent its quick return.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend biannual visual inspections, especially after severe weather. Keep gutters clean to prevent ice dams and water backup, trim back overhanging tree branches to reduce shade and debris that encourage moss, and check your attic periodically for signs of moisture or light coming through. Scheduling a professional inspection with us every few years can catch small issues like cracked sealant or loose flashing before they turn into major leaks.
