The roof is your home’s initial barrier against the weather, and it’s vital to maintain it in peak condition. However, roofs don’t have an infinite lifespan, and downplaying or disregarding the warning signs of an aging or damaged roof can put you in a position to have to pay for repairs that could’ve otherwise been avoided. Here are a few telltale signs that something might be amiss with your roof: If you see water stains appearing on your walls or ceilings, that’s a dead giveaway that your roof is no longer fit for duty.
Obvious Signs of Wear
Examine your roof from the ground. Are there missing, cracked, or curled shingles? If you can see inside where a shingle is supposed to be, then it’s missing. And if you can see a crack or a curl, then the shingle is probably unstable.
Look for Signs when it Rains: When rain falls on those trouble spots, it’s going to find its way into your house. Cracked, curled, and missing shingles are probably the first signs you’re going to see if your roof is starting to fail. Another sign? You’re starting to see some of those sand-sized granules in your gutters.
Look For Moss/Growth: Although growth may appear harmless, it can actually entrap moisture against your roof. And where there’s moisture… well, you know the rest. Even if you don’t see any shingles missing or cracking, you can still benefit from an annual roof inspection.
