Common Signs Your Roof Needs Repair

Minor Roof Maintenance and Repair

Homeowners can also assess their roof safely from the ground, explicitly scanning to looking for signs of issues or problematic areas of the roof system. Below are the common signs that you need professional roof repair and inspections:
 

• CRACKED SHINGLES or tiles

Look for roof shingles or tiles that appear cracked or damage as a sign they need replacing. Check for any gaps or loose shingles or tiles on the ground, or if your shingle or tiled roof visibility is obstructed, look for granule build-up in the gutter.    

• PEELING PAINT

Blistering or peeling paint on the property exterior can sign poor roof ventilation, causing moisture and mildew accumulation inside roof cavities and attic spaces.

• Water LEAKS

In the event of a rainstorm or intense downpour and your roofing system is compromised, check these four areas for leaks; the attic, vents,  chimneys, and skylight.

• WATER DAMAGE

Water stains in the attic, the interior walls, or the ceiling of your property could sign that you leak in your roof.

• ICE DAMMING

Ice dam formation in the winter is a tell-tale sign that your attic and roof have poor ventilation, guttering system blockages, or potential roof leaks.

• SAGGING ROOFS

Sagging or dips in the roof can sign that you need a roof replacement; however, minor sagging or dips are typical under the weight of snow or heavy rain. If you notice roof sagging, contact a professional roof inspector to check the roof's structural integrity.

• LARGE TREE BRANCHES

In the event of storms or high winds and you notice large branches on your roof, we recommend hiring professionals to remove the branch and immediately inspect the roof for any damage.
 
If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to have your roof inspected by a professional that can then offer the best course of action.
