Signs That Your Roof Needs to Be Repaired

It’s important that you look out for these signs that your roof is in need of repair so that you can avoid damage to your home.
– Visible Roof Damage: You should be visually inspecting your roof regularly to ensure it isn’t compromised in any way. This is especially important after any severe weather that you experience. This is often when damage to your roof will occur. Look for any lifting shingles, missing shingles and any other sign of damage to your roof. If something is visually off, it’s time to call in the roofing specialists to take another look.
– Leaking Roof: If your roof is leaking, you might not realize it until you see a wet spot appear on your ceiling or the walls in your home. When this does happen, you need to get to the bottom of the problem right away. Water damage can be devastating in just a short amount of time, so work quickly.
– Chimney Damage: If you have a chimney, keep an eye on it. This can be a more subtle sign that your roof is in trouble. If there is deterioration around the chimney, it can allow water to leak into the house. There shouldn’t be any cracks, missing mortar, or damage to the flashing.
– Sagging Roof: You shouldn’t ever see that your roof is sagging. This means that your roof is in big trouble. It can point to structural problems that are expensive to fix. A sagging roof is often a result of prolonged water damage or inadequate support.
– Granules in Gutters: If your gutters are filled with a sludge of granules from your home’s shingles, it isn’t a good sign. This is a sign of roof damage that is often overlooked. A significant lost of shingle granule means that you are more than likely in need of a roof replacement. Don’t ever ignore gutters that are filled with granules.
