Knowing when it’s time for roof repair projects is essential to the overall care of your home. Homeowners must pay close attention to their roofing system and other aspects of the home to gauge whether something’s wrong or not. As the roof is an all-important aspect that shields you from the weather, you should prioritize it.
This video shows you how to identify a failing roofing system.
Leaks
Leaking is one of the most common and obvious signs of roof failure. In no area is this more transparent than in attic space after a particularly heavy downpour. Often, leaks are caused by inadequate underlayment or deteriorated flashing. Keep an eye out for stains on walls and ceilings.
Decayed or Discolored Shingles
Poor ventilation in the attic often results in excessive moisture. In turn, this leads to blistering, paint peels and other issues. Furthermore, poor ventilation can cause warm air to push upwards and bake your shingles. Always stick to a maintenance routine to keep abreast of your roofing’s condition.
Granule Loss
The loss of granules is often attributed to the age of the shingles. However, the degradation process can speed up and cause the volume of shingle loss to increase. Pay close attention to the presence of granules in your gutters and surrounding areas. This is a clear danger signal you shouldn’t ignore.
Faulty roofing structures are an immediate cause for concern. They pose danger to both the home itself as well as the occupants. Keep an eye on these signs to tell if your roof is on the verge of failing.
