If you are starting to notice your home aging around you it’s important to consider some of its most important structures and what may need replacement. Regular maintenance and recognizing the signs of damage helps to not face larger repair costs. When you ignore roofing damage, this can often lead to the chance that your roof could quickly deteriorate. You need to consider what type of damage your roof has experienced and properly plan with the help of a professional roofing contractor.
Here are some of the top ways that you can recognize the types of roof damage to describe to a contractor!
Damage From Pests
Rodent or insect damage can be common and it’s not an instantly noticeable issue. Pest roof damage often goes unchecked for a long period of time. If you have trees that are close to your roof and you are starting to notice the signs that pests are making their way into your home, you need to consider trimming back limbs and working with a professional to seal off these areas as well as perform repairs.
Damage From Hail
During the storm season it’s possible to see a number of hail storms that can affect your roof. Hail can damage roofing materials very quickly. Storm damage can wear out shingles and if you start to notice the signs of broken shingles in your gutters or asphalt throughout your yard, this could be a sign of a greater issue or your shingles wearing out. If you notice the signs of broken gutters or flashing this could often lead to leaks.
The Signs of Moisture Damage
Most leaks often occur as a result of poor drainage on your roof. If you’re starting to notice that there are signs of water damage on your ceilings and walls, you could have a leak. Moisture that gets transferred from the roof and finds its way into your walls can lead to severe damage to many of the systems within your home.
