In most cases, it’s easy to see That it’s time to start searching the web for a “roofing contractor near me.” Common roofing issues like broken or missing shingles are not too difficult to spot even from the ground. Signs of wear and tear on aging roofs can also be easy to notice. However, there are times when your roofing problems lie beneath the surface.
A lot of homeowners neglect necessary repairs on their roof simply because they don’t know that they actually need it. It’s not really their fault as these problems are almost impossible to identify without a thorough inspection. Our experts at Innovative Roofing & Siding, Inc. suggest keeping an eye out for the following signs that can tell you you need some roof repairs and quick.
Serious Shingle Problems
-
Blisters are usually small and round, appearing like pimples on the surface of your roof. Blisters occur when water trapped in your roof evaporates and expands, pushing through the asphalt granules and creating blisters.
-
Deep cracks that extend far beyond the shingles is a sure sign that you will need some roof leak repair services soon. However, watch out for other symptoms such as blistering, shingle distortion, and loss of granulation.
-
Shingles can also be deformed by constant thermal expansion and contraction. This problem happens more frequently the more your roof ages.
-
Asphalt granules on the ground around your house is a definite sign that your roof is deteriorating. This is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed immediately.
Not a Cause for Concern
Alternatively, some physical signs may look like a problem but they probably won’t lead to a premature roof replacement. Examples of these are minor curling and some discoloration caused by mold or algae. If you see any of these signs, use your best judgment if they are serious enough to warrant a call to your local roofers.
