While regular roof inspections are crucial for early detection of problems, there are several telltale signs that indicate you may need a roof repair:
1. Leaks: Leaky roofs are a major concern. Look for water stains on ceilings and walls, mold or mildew growth, and damp areas.
2. Missing or Damaged Shingles: Strong winds, hailstorms, or falling branches can damage or dislodge shingles. Missing or damaged shingles can compromise your roof’s integrity and lead to leaks.
3. Granule Loss: Shingles are coated with granules that provide UV protection and fire resistance. If you notice a significant amount of granules in your gutters or surrounding your property, it could indicate shingle deterioration.
4. Curling or Buckling Shingles: Curling or buckling shingles are signs of age, exposure to extreme temperatures, or moisture damage. These shingles are more susceptible to damage and may need to be replaced.
5. Sagging Roofline: A sagging roofline can be a sign of structural issues or excessive weight on the roof.
6. Animal Intrusion: Squirrels, birds, and other animals can cause damage to your roof by creating nests, chewing on shingles, and accessing your attic.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to contact a professional roofing contractor like Apex for a thorough inspection and repair.
