Scott Roofing Company | Roofing Services in Gilbert, AZ 85233

Gilbert's frequent windstorms and monsoon rains can quickly fill roof valleys with leaves, gravel, and other debris. When clogged, these critical drainage channels can't function, forcing water to back up under shingles. This trapped moisture is a primary cause of leaks and wood rot in our area. A regular inspection and cleaning of your valleys is a key preventative measure.

The extreme UV radiation and dramatic temperature swings we experience in Gilbert rapidly break down standard sealants, causing them to dry out, crack, and lose adhesion. This compromises the waterproof seals around vents, flashings, and chimneys. We use premium, elastomeric sealants specifically formulated for high-heat, high-sun environments to ensure a longer-lasting, flexible seal.

From the ground, look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles, especially after a storm. Pay attention to areas around pipes, vents, and the chimney for visible cracks or gaps in the sealant (it will often look chalky or shrunken). Also, check your gutters for an excessive amount of granule loss from shingles, which is accelerated by our sun and indicates aging. If you see piles of debris in roof valleys, it's time for a professional cleaning.
