Roof Leak Signs: Don’t Ignore These

It’s imperative that your roof is able to stand up to everything Mother Nature throws at it. If it neglects to do so, it won’t be long before you realize that water is damaging the interior and/or exterior of your home.

There are a variety of roof leak signs, with these among the most common:

·      Sign of water inside your home, such as in your attic

·      Algae and/or mold growth

·      Buckling or curling shingles

·      Granule loss

·      Damaged flashing

·      Roof rot

·      Missing shingles

·      Siding damage

·      Damage to the wall behind the siding

If you notice one or more of these problems, it’s critical to consult with a professional as quickly as possible. Neglecting to do so increases the risk of extensive water damage, which is more difficult, time consuming, and costly to repair.

Remember, it only takes a small leak to cause major damage. Once you contact a professional roofing company, you’ll better understand the cause of the leak and what to do next.

In some cases, you may be able to opt for a repair. Unfortunately, there are also times when it makes more sense to install a new roof.

Any sign of a roof leak will make you cringe, but remember this: there’s a solution to every problem. Contact us if you suspect a leak and want to learn more.
