Upgrading Older Homes in Somerdale
Somerdale is home to many beautiful mid-century and post-war homes. But with this charm comes challenges, such as outdated roofing systems. Viking Roofing specializes in upgrading these roofs with modern materials that enhance protection, efficiency, and curb appeal while respecting the original architectural details as much as possible.
Whether your home was built in the 1960s or the 1990s, we assess its existing structure and recommend solutions that improve ventilation, meet current building codes, and increase energy efficiency. We work with a lot of materials that seamlessly blend with older home styles, such as asphalt shingles and metal. From new underlayment and flashing to improved ridge vents and longer-lasting materials, we’ll help your classic home achieve a modern roof.
Common Roofing Problems in Somerdale Homes
With New Jersey’s four-season climate and occasional storms, Somerdale roofs are exposed to a range of challenges throughout the year. Here are the most common issues we address in Somerdale:
Flashing Failures and Leaky Roof Joints: Roof flashing is designed to seal areas where the roof meets vertical structures like chimneys, dormers, skylights, and vent stacks. In Somerdale homes, we often find corroded, poorly installed, or deteriorated flashing that allows water to enter in vulnerable areas, causing significant damage.
Roof Leaks After Heavy Rainstorms: Severe thunderstorms and seasonal downpours often expose weaknesses in roofing systems. Leaks frequently occur at valleys, pipe boots, and low-slope areas. If water finds its way beneath damaged or improperly installed shingles, it can soak into the roof decking and insulation, leading to sagging, mold growth, and even electrical hazards.
Moss, Algae, and Debris Buildup: In shaded areas or under trees, especially common in Somerdale’s more wooded neighborhoods, excess moisture can lead to moss and algae growth. These organisms retain water and can break down roofing materials over time. Falling leaves and pine needles can clog gutters and downspouts, causing overflow and water damage to soffits and fascia.
Ventilation and Insulation Problems: Inadequate roof ventilation traps heat and moisture inside the attic, which can prematurely age roofing materials and reduce energy efficiency. We often find Somerdale homes that were built before current ventilation standards were established, and upgrading systems not only protects the roof but also improves indoor comfort and can lower energy bills.
Aging Roof Systems: Many homes in Somerdale still have their original roofing systems from 20 or 30 years ago. Over time, materials naturally degrade from UV exposure, weather stress, and general wear and tear. Even if there aren’t visible leaks, an old roof may be less efficient, less protective, and more vulnerable to sudden failure during a storm.
Ice Dams and Winter Stress: During the colder months, poor attic insulation or ventilation can cause heat to escape through the roof, melting snow unevenly. That melted snow refreezes along the eaves, forming ice dams that trap water on the roof and can seep under shingles, damaging underlayment and interior walls and ceilings.
