7 Signs You Need Hire a Residential Roof Repair Company

Did you know that the average roof only lasts about 15 to 30 years? The length of time that it lasts has a lot to do with the material of the roof. However, it also has to do with your overall roof maintenance.

That is why maintaining your roof and having inspections done regularly will help increase your roof’s lifespan.

So when do you know if it is time to hire a residential roof repair company? You can look out for these seven signs to know that it is time for the roof repair process.

1. Missing Shingles

If a shingle weakens, it is most likely going to fall off the roof or be misplaced from the area that it should be in. This can happen in bad weather or because of old age.

If you start to notice that your roof is missing a lot of shingles, it is time to check your roof repair budget and call a residential roof repair company.

The last thing you want to do is wait too long because this can become more expensive as well as dangerous.

2. Sagging Roof

If your roof is sagging, this is a sign that it is time to go through the roof repair process.

Having a sagging roof means that there is an issue with the larger picture, usually the structure below the shingles. While you may not know what is causing the sagging roof until you repair it, it is necessary to repair it if you notice this. It is important not to wait too long with this big of an issue.

3. Water Damage

If you start having leaks and noticed that there is water damage on your walls or in your ceiling you probably also have water damage on your roof. Not only is there water damage but there is also probably other damage that is allowing water in.

The damage that water damage can do to your home can be very costly and dangerous. It is important to fix the water damage right away before letting it get worse. Although this is one of the most common roof issues, it is not a good issue to have.

4. Granules Keep Falling

If you do not notice anything wrong with your shingles but are noticing small pieces falling from your roof or find them in your gutter, this means that you are having an issue with the granules. If there are enough granules that keep falling off the roof, this means that there is something going on underneath the surface.

If you let this get out of hand, it can also lead to water damage as more particles of the roof shingles fall off.

5. Cupping or Clawing of the Shingles

Just as you do not want to notice any missing shingles, you also do not want your shingles to start cupping or clawing. If this is happening, it is time to hire a professional for roof repair.

To look for this, you should look at the ends of the shingles to see if they’re peeling away from the roof itself. You can also look at the center of the shingles to see if it is bubbling. If you notice either of those things, it is time to contact a professional to repair your roof.

It is important to have regular roof maintenance to check that this doesn’t happen, especially after bad weather in the area.

6. Light in Your Attic

Because an attic is not supposed to have light in it, it is important that you call a company to help fix your roof if you notice light coming through it. This means that there is a hole somewhere in your attic. Furthermore, this means that water and other elements can get below your roof and into your house.

Not only does this affect your roof, but it can lead to further damage.

The last thing that you want to do if you see light in your attic is to ignore the issue. The hole will most likely get bigger and lead to more damage the longer you wait.

7. Mold on Your Ceiling or Walls

One of the telltale signs of water damage in your home is if you notice mold on your ceiling or walls. If it is mostly just on your ceiling and the top of your walls, this means that the water damage is most likely coming from your roof. You’ll need to have that fixed right away to avoid more mold and more damage from occurring.

You want to call a professional to get this done right away as it can also damage the structure of your entire house. This can be extremely dangerous if you leave it for too long as the structure will just continue to weaken.
