Sessum Roofing | Lafe Roof Repair for Granule Loss & Water Pooling

Those black granules are a sign of shingle wear, which is common in our area due to sun exposure and weather. Granule loss reduces your roof's ability to reflect UV rays and protect against the elements. At Sessum Roofing, we perform a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the wear. If caught early, we can often perform targeted repairs. If the granule loss is widespread, we'll discuss a roof replacement using high-quality, durable shingles designed for longevity in the Lafe climate.

Water pooling, or 'ponding,' is often caused by a sagging roof deck, clogged drains, or an improperly installed roof system that doesn't allow for adequate drainage. This standing water adds weight and can lead to leaks and accelerated deterioration. Our team at Sessum Roofing specializes in diagnosing the root cause. We correct the issue by repairing or reinforcing the decking, ensuring drains and scuppers are clear and functional, and can re-pitch sections of the roof or install tapered insulation to create the proper slope for water to run off effectively.

It's a common and important question. The decision depends on the age of your roof, the extent of damage (like granule loss or leaks from pooling water), and the condition of the underlying decking. At Sessum Roofing, we provide a clear, honest assessment. We'll check for widespread issues, test for soft spots in the deck, and evaluate the overall system's health. We always recommend the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your home. If repairs can safely extend your roof's life, we'll do that. If replacement is the wiser investment, we'll explain why in plain terms.
