How Does Salt Air Affect Roofs in Surfside Beach?

Salt air near the ocean in Surfside Beach can corrode metal parts of your roof, including flashing, vents, drip edge and exposed fasteners. Combined with strong sun and wind, it speeds up wear on coastal roofs. Regular inspections and replacing worn metal parts help keep salt air from turning into leaks.

What Does Salt Air Do to a Roof?

Salt carried on ocean breezes settles on the roof and holds moisture, which speeds up corrosion on metal parts.

Which Roof Parts Are Most at Risk?

• Metal flashing around chimneys and walls.
• Roof vents and pipe flashings.
• Drip edge along the roof edges.
• Exposed nails and fasteners.

How Can I Protect a Coastal Roof?

Regular inspections catch corrosion early. When a roof is replaced, new flashings and vents should go on, not old parts. Honest Roofers installs new pipe flashings and vents with every new roof.
