Detecting roof damage early can prevent costly repairs.
Look out for these key signs:
1. Missing or Damaged Shingles: Spot any shingles on the ground or visibly broken ones? It’s time to call a roofer near you, like The Modern Pros.
2. Water Stains on Ceilings/Walls: Brown stains could indicate a leaking roof. Even small stains might signal a bigger problem.
3. Sagging or Uneven Roof: Notice any sags or uneven areas? This may point to structural damage.
4. Granules in Gutters: Shingle granules in gutters suggest aging shingles, leading to potential leaks.
5. Leaks or Moisture in Attic: Regularly check your attic for wet insulation or water stains.
6. Cracked or Curling Shingles: Brittle, cracked, or curling shingles need immediate attention.
7. Mold or Mildew Growth: Mold on your roof or in your attic can indicate leaks or poor ventilation.
8. Damaged Flashing: Damaged or missing flashing makes your roof vulnerable to leaks.
9. Increased Energy Bills: A damaged roof can cause higher energy costs.
10. Roof Age: Asphalt shingle roofs last about 20-25 years. If yours is that old, consider a replacement.
