Do you have a damaged roof? Check out these 3 signs!

For weather protection and overall safety, your roof is one of the most important elements of your home. Keeping a roof system intact and fully functional is crucial since it plays such an essential role.

A compromised roof can negatively impact the rest of your home, so it’s important to address it right away.

It’s important to know the age, condition, and any other issues that are occurring with a roof, even if it can last for many years.  To get expert advice on what needs to be done if you suspect your roof has damage or a larger issue, call a professional roofer.

Here are 3 signs that your roof is damaged if you’re unsure.

1.  Leaks

Leaks and stains on your ceiling are one of the most obvious signs that something is wrong with your roof. There can be a number of reasons for a leak (pipes, overflowing toilet), but if the stains are high on the ceiling, chances are it’s the roof. It’s important to get it repaired because a constant drip of water can cause damage and mold.

2.  Visible Shingle Problems

Looking up may tell you if it’s time for a roof repair or replacement even without climbing up on the roof. A professional should be called in if you notice visible issues with the shingles – like moss and algae growing on them, curling of the shingles, or even missing spots where there were once shingles.

3.  Sagging Roofline

Sagging roof lines are another obvious sign of an issue. In addition to structural issues, heavy weight from ice, snow, or even strong winds can cause sagging. A sagging roofline can also be caused by too many layers of shingles. As a result of all this extra weight, structural issues can arise that are dangerous and should be addressed.
