Extending the service life and performance of your roof is simple–you just need to invest in roof repair promptly when issues pop up. But there will come a time, unfortunately, when this won’t work anymore. Once that becomes the case, a complete replacement is the better and more permanent solution. You’ll know once you spot these warning signs:
-
Your existing roof has massive leaks. Water infiltration is a common roofing problem. One or two minor leaks can be easily dealt with. But if they already cover multiple areas of your home, and the leak has become more than a drip from the ceiling, this can only mean your current roof has already been compromised. Other indications include:
-
Mold growth and rot inside the attic.
-
Holes on your roof that are large enough to let sunlight in.
-
Water stains and streaks along walls and ceilings.
-
Your roofing shingles show extensive damage. Curling, splits, buckling and cracks usually mean the shingles are nearing, or have already gone past their lifespan. Another indication is excess granule loss, a sign that the shingles have mostly lost their weather resistance. A roof that can no longer protect your home won’t be doing you any favors, so have it replaced immediately. Howard Roofing & Home Improvements can help you with this. We offer a wide range of quality CertainTeed asphalt shingle roofing systems that can effectively meet your home’s weather protection needs, while helping improve its curb appeal with their unmatched beauty.
-
Your roof is starting to sag. There are many reasons why this can happen–mostly bad ones. Overlooking proper ventilation, lack of maintenance and going for a roof layover instead of a complete tear-off are just a few of them. Roofing systems sag because their structural integrity has been compromised. If they are not replaced ASAP, they can become a huge safety hazard.
