FAQs
Why is chimney flashing a common leak source for Newton homes, and how do you fix it?
In our area, freeze-thaw cycles and high winds can break the seal on older flashing, leading to leaks. We inspect the entire chimney base, replace corroded or damaged metal with durable, code-compliant materials, and integrate a new waterproof sealant with your existing roofing system to create a long-lasting, stormproof barrier.
What's the best way to handle the dark algae stains on my roof in Newton?
Those black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid climate. We use a low-pressure, eco-friendly cleaning solution that kills the algae and spores without damaging your shingles. For lasting protection, we can apply a zinc or copper strip treatment at the roof's peak to inhibit future growth with each rainfall.
As a Newton homeowner, how can I tell if my roof leak is from flashing or another issue?
A good first clue is location—water stains on ceilings or walls near the chimney often point to flashing. We recommend a professional inspection, as we'll check for cracked mortar, deteriorated sealant, and compromised shingles around the chimney to pinpoint the exact cause. Early detection prevents more extensive interior damage common in our wet seasons.
