CONDITIONS

Roofing in Litchfield by the Sea, South Carolina

Litchfield by the Sea’s location along the South Carolina coast puts homes in an environment where roofs regularly deal with salt air, coastal humidity, intense summer heat, heavy rain, wind-driven rain, tropical storms and hurricanes.

Over time, those conditions can affect shingles, flashing, pipe boots, roof penetrations, ventilation and other components of the roofing system.

That’s why we don’t look at just the shingles.

We evaluate how the entire roofing system is performing.

Wind & Storm Damage

Strong thunderstorms, tropical storms and hurricanes can create uplift forces capable of damaging shingles and roofing components.

Some storm damage is obvious, such as missing shingles. Other problems can be much harder to identify from the ground.

A professional roof inspection can help determine whether your roof has sustained damage.

Coastal Salt Air, Heat & Humidity

Litchfield by the Sea roofs experience long periods of heat, humidity and exposure to coastal air.

Salt air and moisture can contribute to deterioration around metal flashing, fasteners, vents, pipe boots and other roofing components.

Proper roofing materials, installation methods and attic ventilation can play an important role in the overall performance of the roofing system.

During our inspections, we look at ventilation and other conditions that may contribute to excessive heat, moisture or premature deterioration.

Heavy & Wind-Driven Rain

A roof may perform normally during light rainfall but leak during severe storms.

Wind-driven rain can expose weaknesses around roof penetrations, flashing, valleys, walls, chimneys and other vulnerable areas.

Our goal is to identify where the water is actually entering the roofing system, rather than simply applying sealant to the area where water appears inside the home.

Roof Replacement in Litchfield by the Sea, SC

Eventually, every roofing system reaches the point where continued repairs no longer make financial sense.
