We start with a thorough inspection to find the exact source of the leak. Often, the old flashing has corroded or the sealant has failed. We carefully remove the compromised material, install new, code-compliant flashing custom-fit to your chimney and roof, and seal it with high-grade, weather-resistant caulking. This precise approach ensures a watertight seal that stands up to our local rain and temperature swings.

Those dark streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that thrives in our humid Alabama climate. It feeds on limestone in shingles and holds moisture, which can degrade roofing granules over time. We use a professional, low-pressure cleaning solution that safely kills the algae and rinses it away without damaging your shingles. We can also install zinc or copper strips at the roof ridge to prevent future growth.

Absolutely. A professional inspection is the best defense. We'll check the condition of all flashings, look for early signs of algae growth, assess shingle health, and identify any vulnerable areas. Catching a small flashing issue or early algae colonization allows for a simple, affordable repair, saving you from costly water damage or premature roof replacement down the line.
