When It’s Time To Replace Your Roof?
Below are some of the top signs that will help you determine when to replace your roof.
1. It’s Old
It’s not just old; it’s ancient. Most roofs come with 20-year warranties. If your roof hasn’t been replaced in well over two decades, then you should start thinking about putting on a new roof on your home.
2. Peeling And Curling Shingles
Shingles have a specific lifespan, and once they get near the end of it, you’ll start to see signs that the shingles are breaking down. If your roof is starting to look like peelings or curls at corners like dried-out paper, then know that these need replacement as soon as possible. Leaving peeling or curling siding without repair can allow water draining across your house’s exterior walls (roof) to become trapped. It could lead to severe moisture damage for the wood structure underneath if caught long enough; not only does this cause rotting but ultimately leaks, too!
3. Leakage
When you get water leaks, it’s time to start thinking about replacing your roof. Discoloration on the ceilings signifies that moisture has been getting into your home through cracks in the walls due to leaky roofs or flat roofs with inadequate drainage systems. When this happens, not only do carpets become wet from leaking, but mold can also grow, leading to more health issues for you and those who often visit, such as children or seniors living independently.
4. Missing Shingles
A few missing shingles are no cause for alarm, but if the roof is otherwise in good shape and you notice a lot of them pulled up from one area or they’ve gone altogether, that could mean significant damage. The specific number doesn’t matter as much as where on your roof. Most can patch up the top with new materials to avoid any leaks if there aren’t too many holes just around the valley (where water collects). But if not treated quickly, the damage will only continue to worsen due to exposure over time.
