Like any other part of your house, your roof will eventually wear down and require a replacement or repair. Repairing a roof is costly and inconvenient, so it’s essential to catch any issues early on. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the most common signs that it’s time for a roof inspection.
1. Age of the Roof
Depending on what roofing material is used, a roof will have a lifespan of somewhere between 15 to 50 years. If your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan, you’ll need to inspect it. A professional roofing contractor can conduct a thorough evaluation and suggest any necessary repair work.
2. Loose or Missing Shingles
A significant weather event may cause shingles to loosen or fall off. When shingles are missing it can expose the underlying layers of the roof, which can lead to leaks and damage. Whenever you notice missing shingles, you know you need to call a roofing pro.
3. Water Stains on Walls or Ceilings
A leaky roof will cause water stains to appear on the walls or ceilings. So, if you notice discoloration or water stains, it’s time to take action.
4. Damaged Flashing
Flashing is a thin metallic material that professionals use to seal the joints where the roof meets other parts of your home, such as walls or chimneys. The flashing can be damaged due to high winds or excessive moisture, causing the roof to start leaking.
5. Moss Growth
Moss thrives in moist and shady areas, meaning that if it’s growing on your roof, it’s a sign that the roof is retaining moisture. It can be removed by a professional, however, there could be underlying damage that needs to be addressed.
