The North Your Roofing specialists at Pars Roofing offer you the following tips to help you protect your home from damage and to save you time and expense by alerting you to signs that your home's roof is in need of repair or replacement.
Signs to look for include:
- Water leakage in your home's attic following driving rain or in spring thaw. Water seepage into the attic can be caused by leaky or inadequate shingling or flashings that have deteriorated or been damaged over time.
- Interior or exterior paint that is blistering or peeling: Excess moisture and/or high humidity can indicate from poor attic ventilation and a need to install more venting.
- Staining on interior ceilings and walls is an indication that your shingling is inadequate or damaged, and that ice dams on your roof may be allowing pooling water to leak through.
- Missing, cracked or curling shingles may indicate that your shingles have reached the end of their useful life and should be replaced.
- Dark patches, or the appearance of dirty areas, on your roof may indicate that your roof has been compromised by environmental pollutants, algae or fungal growth, or that areas of asphalt shingles have lost their granular outer coating due to the age of the shingles.
- Excesive energy costs may indicate that your attic is insufficiently ventilated vausing heating and air conditioning systems to run excessively.
