Roof leak repair in Muttontown

Why roofs leak in Muttontown

Muttontown sits on a barrier-adjacent island where three things attack a roof at once. Salt air corrodes every metal component up there — flashing, fasteners, drip edge, vent collars — so the parts meant to outlast the shingles frequently do not, and most leaks here turn out to be metal failures rather than shingle failures. Nor'easters bring sustained wind with rain driven sideways, which gets under courses that would shed any amount of vertical water. Then winter adds ice damming at the eaves, where meltwater running down a warm roof refreezes over the cold overhang and backs up beneath the shingles. Housing stock across Nassau County runs older than the national average, with a lot of complex roof geometry, dormers and additions — and every junction is another place flashing has to work.
