Common Questions
What's the most common cause of a chimney flashing leak on a Buckhannon home, and how do you fix it?
In our climate, the most common cause is wear and tear from temperature fluctuations and weather, which can break the sealant or loosen the flashing. We fix it by carefully removing the old material, inspecting the underlying structure for rot or damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with high-grade, waterproof sealants designed for our local conditions to ensure a long-lasting repair.
Are the dark streaks (algae) on my roof harmful, or just an eyesore?
Those dark streaks are more than just an eyesore; they're a sign of Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in humid areas like ours. Over time, it can degrade and retain moisture in your roofing granules, potentially shortening your shingles' lifespan. We offer safe, low-pressure cleaning solutions to remove the algae and protective treatments to help prevent it from returning quickly.
As a local roofer, what do you check for during a routine inspection?
Our local inspections focus on the trouble spots we see every day in Buckhannon. We meticulously check chimney flashing, valleys, and around vent pipes for leaks, look for signs of algae or moss growth, assess shingle condition for wind or hail damage common to the area, and ensure gutters and downspouts are clear to prevent ice dams in winter. It's a comprehensive check-up for your roof's health.
