How To Know When You Need Shingle Repair

Just because you aren’t a roofing professional doesn’t mean that you aren’t able to spot problems that may be happening with your roof. Remaining proactive is the best thing that you can do for your roof. Taking care of any type of damage to your roof is a great way to ensure that your roof will last throughout its entire projected lifespan. Here are a few things to look out for.

• Curling shingles: Shingles that are curling, also referred to as clawing, can be easily damaged by high winds. They are normally the result of excessive heat or just the overall age of the roofing system itself.
• Damaged flashings: you can find flashing surrounding skylights, chimneys, or other areas within your roofing system that can be potentially affected by separation. The flashing can separate and lift due to general contraction and expansion creating an entryway for water.
• Missing shingles: Without shingles, your roof’s ability to shed water is taken away making it more vulnerable to leaks. A common cause for missing shingles is physical damage and excessive wind.

Addressing issues with your roofing system sooner than later is the best thing to do. So rather than waiting until your next inspection, take a walk around the perimeter of your house and check out your roof.
