Why Fix it Now?
After years of exposure to the elements, roofs start to wear which can result in thousands of dollars in damage. The biggest problem is most people aren’t even aware of the common symptoms of a failing roof until it’s already too late.
Some of the early warnings to look out for include:
- Cracked shingles
- Curling shingles
- Buckling shingles
- Bare spots in your shingles
- Shingle colour loss/granule loss (balding from age)
- Pieces of shingle found around the perimeter of your home or in your eavestrough
- Ruptured valleys
- Worn metal counter flashing
These symptoms can be caused by the age of the roof and its exposure to wind, rain, snow, and even the sun. They can also be caused by animal damage, manufacturer defects, or even improper installation. It’s important to recognize these warning signs as soon as possible because you can’t fix a problem until you know the problem exists.
While some of these symptoms may not be serious or costly to fix today, by not being proactive you run the risk of paying for it later. Even a small leak can cause severe damage. When moisture gets into the insulation it can develop mold and mildew that spreads to the drywall and the wood structure of your home.
A leaking roof will open and spread causing damage to your walls, ceilings, and floors. It can short out your electrical outlets also which can cause a fire.
