Questions and Answers
Why are chimney flashing leaks so common on Raleigh roofs?
In Raleigh, temperature swings and frequent storms cause roofing materials to expand and contract. This movement can break the seal on older flashing around your chimney, which is a prime spot for water to get in. We fix this by carefully inspecting the existing flashing, replacing any compromised sections with durable, weather-resistant metals, and sealing it with high-performance caulking designed for our local climate.
What's the best way to remove black algae stains from my roof without causing damage?
The dark streaks on many Raleigh roofs are actually a type of algae. Pressure washing can strip away protective granules and void shingle warranties. We use a safer, low-pressure soft wash system with EPA-approved cleaning solutions that gently kill the algae and allow the stains to wash away with the next rain. We also can apply a zinc or copper strip at the roof's peak to help prevent future growth.
Can you repair a chimney flashing leak, or does the whole roof need to be replaced?
Most of the time, a chimney flashing leak is a localized issue that doesn't require a full roof replacement. Our first step is a thorough inspection to confirm the leak source is the flashing and not wider roof damage. We then perform a precise repair or replacement of the flashing system. We'll always give you an honest assessment—if we find other significant problems, we'll explain your options clearly, but our goal is to fix the specific problem affordably and effectively.
