4 Signs of Roof Damage Homeowners Ignore

4 Signs of Roof Damage Homeowners IgnoreA solid roof above your head protects your family from the elements and ensures that your property is secure. For your roof to do its job, you need to make sure it’s in top condition. Never wait for a serious problem to occur before examining your roof.

Learning the signs of potential roof damage will help you catch minor issues and prevent them from becoming bigger and more complicated. Pay attention to these warning signs and have a professional fix the issue as quickly as possible. 

Missing or damaged shingles 

Visually inspecting your roof will help you spot missing, cupped, or cracked shingles. Your roof’s structure and your home’s interior become vulnerable to water damage when you have missing shingles. Therefore, it is best to replace torn or missing shingles as soon as possible. If left unaddressed, the gutters, flashing, ventilation pipes, and chimney may eventually be damaged. 

Water spots on your ceiling 

If you notice some stains on your ceiling, this usually indicates the presence of a leak. When your home’s interior becomes exposed to high moisture levels, it creates significant damage to your ceilings and walls. 

Sagging signs 

Go outside and walk around the property. Be on the lookout for signs sagging or drooping. This can be a clear indication that you have a damaged roof on your hands. 

For your family's safety, make sure to have your roof replaced as soon as possible. 

Age

On average, a typical roof lasts between 20 and 25 years. Keep in mind, though, that your roof’s lifespan depends on several factors, including the materials used, the weather, and where you’re located. 

A roof that has been in place for more than 20 years may be nearing its end. Even though it looks fine on the surface, there might be underlying issues.

Final thoughts

While it is good to check your ceilings and walls for leaks on your own, having your roof inspected by a professional can prevent costly repairs down the road. 

Minor roof leaks are often left unnoticed until they become large enough to get noticed. Professionals from Steel Rhino Properties have the knowledge and experience to examine and pinpoint problems you might not have seen yourself. Hence, allowing you to take action at the soonest possible time.
