Signs Your Roof Needs Repair

A roof faces constant exposure to varied weather, leading to unavoidable wear and tear over time. While some issues may initially appear minor, overlooking them can result in costly damage and compromise the safety of the home. Remaining vigilant and recognizing certain indicators of a problem will help homeowners determine when it's time to seek professional assistance. 

Interior Roof Damage

Interior clues of roof damage include:

• Water stains and leaks: Obvious signs, such as water stains on ceilings or walls or dripping water during rain, indicate a leak demanding immediate attention.
• Dark spots and streaks: Even without an active leak, dark spots or streaks on ceilings or walls could signify past water intrusion and potential hidden damage.
• Peeling paint or wallpaper: Trapped moisture behind walls due to a leaky roof can cause paint or wallpaper to bubble and peel.
• Musty odors: A persistent musty smell in the attic or specific rooms often points to mold or mildew growth, likely caused by a leaky roof.
• Drafts and increased energy bills: A damaged roof can lead to poor insulation, allowing drafts and forcing the HVAC system to work harder, resulting in higher energy bills.

Exterior Roof Damage

Exterior signals of roofing issues include:

• Missing, damaged, or curling shingles: Shingles that are cracked, curled, blistered, or missing leave the roof vulnerable to water penetration and further damage.
• Granule loss: An excessive amount of granules in gutters or downspouts indicates that shingles are aging and nearing the end of their lifespan.
• Sagging roofline: A sagging or uneven roofline signals structural issues requiring immediate attention to prevent further damage.
• Moss, algae, or lichen growth: While primarily aesthetic concerns, these growths can trap moisture and accelerate shingle deterioration.
• Damaged flashing: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can crack or deteriorate, leading to leaks.
• Clogged or damaged gutters: Gutters that are overflowing or pulling away from the house can indicate problems with the roof drainage system.

Even if only one or two of these signs are observed, it's best to err on the side of caution and schedule a professional roof inspection. Early detection and repair can save homeowners thousands of dollars in potential damage and ensure the continued protection of their homes.
