In Seymour, melting snow and ice dams are a common cause of spring leaks. As snow melts and refreezes at the eaves, it creates ice dams that block proper drainage, forcing water back up under the shingles. Our team specializes in inspecting for and repairing damage caused by ice dams, including improving attic ventilation and insulation to prevent future issues.

Those black streaks are likely gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in humid climates like ours. While not immediately damaging, it can degrade shingles over time. We use a low-pressure, professional-grade cleaning solution that safely eliminates the algae without harming your shingles. We also can discuss preventative treatments to slow its return.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the extent of damage, the age of your roof, and the condition of the underlying decking. After a thorough inspection, we provide a clear, honest assessment. For isolated leaks from storm or ice dam damage, a repair is often sufficient. For widespread wear, curling shingles, or multiple leaks, a replacement with high-quality, durable materials may be the most cost-effective long-term solution for your Seymour home.
