How to Tell if Your Roof Needs Repairs

Your roof endures the brunt of the elements just to keep you and your family dry and the inside of your home free of damage. That said, it will still show signs of wear and tear no matter how durable it is. In this blog post, roof replacement company Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. explains the indicators telling you a roof is in need of repairs.

Roof Leak

This is often a result of an existing crack or opening in your roofing system. You won’t notice it at first, especially since it starts out small. The longer it lingers, the more it worsens. By the time you discover it, it’s already too late. That’s why working with a reliable roofer who can perform thorough inspections is ideal. They can locate the source of the leak and conduct the necessary repairs to bring your roof to its previous condition.

Organic Growth

Disregarding maintenance can lead to the growth of fungus, algae and mold on the roof’s surfaces. Removing them will need extensive repairs, which can be costly to deal with. It may be a cosmetic issue, but leaving it unaddressed can lead to the roof deteriorating early in its life span. A thorough inspection by a reputable roofing contractor is imperative to ensure organic growth is removed before it can spread to the rest of the roof.

Visible Damage

Obvious roof damage varies depending on the roofing material. Asphalt shingles, for instance, may buckle, curl, or crack due to long-term weather exposure. Metal panels may become dented or punctured because of dense hailstones. If you notice any of the signs of visible roof damage, get in touch with your local roofer today.
