Once found, these problems need to be fixed immediately; otherwise you risk further damage to your home and the people inside it. If you haven’t yet, have your roof inspected for the following issues: Leaks: This is one of the most noticeable repair issues your roof can have. It isn’t difficult to spot a leak. You may notice water dripping out of the ceiling or walls getting discolored due to the moisture. Leaks can be caused by compromised seams, poorly-installed flashing, or damage from heavy storms. It is often a symptom of a bigger problem your roof contains. Once this problem is spotted, its cause should be ascertained to prevent further damage. Improper Flashing: Flashing refers to the thin pieces of “L” shaped brackets used to prevent water from entering through your roof. They can be made of copper, stainless steel, plastic, or other materials, but if parts become directly exposed, they can wear down. If the flashing is done improperly, moisture can seep through, leading to soggy wood, mold, and eventually wood deterioration. Shrinkage: Before shingles and tiles are attached to an exterior, its foundation (normally wood), is covered with roof membrane called “ethylene propylene diene monomer”, EPDM for short. This membrane protects against ultraviolet light and high temperatures. Over time, there is a possibility that this membrane begins to contract. It may happen due to poor workmanship, cheap materials, or bad design. Shrinkage can be spotted on flashings on the exterior. Failing to address this issue could lead to stains and leakage inside your home. Missing or Damaged Shingles: This is mostly attributed to wind damage. A location affected by strong wind often causes shingles to crack, bend over, or fly away. Falling trees (often due to strong winds) could also contribute to damaged shingles, so be sure to inspect your roof if a branch falls on it. Weathering through extreme heat and rain can also cause shingles to crack or wear away. Losing shingles can mean that moisture can penetrate through your roof and cause it to rot. Shingles can easily be repaired or maintained to prevent further damage. Your exterior is one of the most important aspects of your house when it comes to guarding against the elements. Poor roof installation or the lack of maintenance can have severe consequences for your home. Moisture damage does not only affect the integrity of your house, it can lead to the growth of mold that could severely affect the health of the people living inside a house. To prevent these problems from occurring, make sure to have your home inspected at least once a year, especially if you suspect something may be going on. An inspection after a heavy storm is also advisable, as you may not find the damage right away. Save yourself from expensive repairs by locating the problem while it’s still early.

The thing is, even if it does its job well, it also gets damaged in the process. It’s important to do proper maintenance on your roof to keep moisture and heat away, but it’s also important to keep your roof looking nice for its aesthetic value. An ugly roof can make a house look older than it actually is and affect its selling value. Here are some issues with natural causes that would immediately impact the value of your home: Dents from Hail Damage: After a hailstorm, you may see small dents and obvious damage to your roof. Not only is the damage visually detrimental, it also has an impact on the strength and long-term durability of your roof. If you had high-quality shingles installed, it should normally protect your home against hail. If you live in an area that’s prone to hail, getting a strong roof with high-impact resistance is really the best way to save costs and keep your family safe from danger. Replacing and re-installing weak shingles will only build up expenses in the future. Install Class 4 impact resisting shingles for the best protection against hail. Missing Or Broken Shingles From Wind Damage: Strong winds may cause roof shingles to break or fly away. Missing or damaged roof shingles can make a new house look dilapidated and weak. Visual aspects aside, the lack of quality shingles can lead to bigger problems such as leaks, mold, problematic insulation, and wood damage. As with hail, there are also shingles that are suited to places prone to high wind speeds. Wind-resistance ratings for shingles go from 60mph to 110mph. The higher the wind-resistance rating, the costlier it becomes. Strong, wind-resistant shingles will help your house make it through a storm without much damage. It is especially important if you live in a place that often gets visited by tornadoes and hurricanes. If your area only has moderate weather conditions, you can choose a less wind-resistant type of shingle in order to save costs. Algae Streaks: Have you always wondered what those odd black streaks you see on roofs are? That’s actually a form of algae. These are caused by heat and moisture trapped on your roof. They can be passed on from one house to another through the wind. Sometimes the cause lies in poor drainage or improper ventilation. Asides from prematurely aging your asphalt shingles, these unsightly stains negatively impact the selling value of your home. They may even be a cause of complaint from your neighbors out of fear of spreading the algae to their own homes. Though these black stains do not affect the durability of your roof, some people replace their roofs to prevent the algae from coming back. You have the option of having your roof cleaned, but for a long-term solution, consider replacing your roof with algae-resistant shingles. When repairing your roof in Pembroke it is important to prevent the same type of damage from reoccurring. Invest in strong, durable, quality roof shingles to lengthen the life span of your roof.
