Thoroughbred Contractors | Waterproofing & Roofing in Shelbyville, KY 40065

In our Shelbyville climate, temperature fluctuations and moisture can cause the sealants around roof flashing to fail, leading to separation and leaks. Our moisture control repair service doesn't just patch the visible gap. We assess the underlying moisture levels in the surrounding roof structure, address any trapped humidity, and then properly reseal and secure the flashing with materials designed to withstand local conditions. This comprehensive approach prevents the recurring separation that's common here.

Absolutely. Roof algae (often seen as black streaks) thrives in moist, shaded conditions. A professional waterproofing installation from Thoroughbred Contractors creates a durable, water-shedding barrier on your roof's vulnerable areas. By effectively channeling water away and preventing moisture retention in the shingles, we make your roof a less hospitable environment for algae growth. This not only improves your home's curb appeal but also protects the roofing material from the degrading effects of constant dampness, a common issue in our area.

It's often both, which is why our combined expertise is crucial. Persistent basement dampness typically starts with water pressure against the foundation (a masonry/concrete structure). We first inspect for cracks or porous areas in the concrete that need masonry repair. Then, we apply a professional exterior or interior waterproofing system—like the installations we specialize in—to create a permanent barrier. This two-pronged approach addresses the common local problem at its source, stopping water intrusion through the walls and floor for good.
