Being aware of the common signs of roof damage may prevent expensive repair costs in the future. Here are the top signs that may indicate roof damage:
Stains
Dark water stains on the roof or down the walls are common signs of water filtering through a roof leak. Specialists in roof repair know how to track down the leak’s source. They can repair it efficiently before it causes more damage to the house’s interior.
Damaged in the shingles
A damaged shingle will not only ruin the aesthetic of the house. It will eventually become a leak that will harm the house’s ceilings and walls.
Mold at the diverter flashing location
A diverter flashing is essential to prevent rainwater from seeping into the house. A sign that the diverter flashing has broken is finding mold where the roof and the house’s exterior wall meet.
It may take a long time before the water enters the house’s walls. However, it will be expensive to repair once it’s damaged. An expert in roof repair can change the diverter flashing fast and efficiently.
Issues with the roof vents
The first sign of damage in plastic roof vents is finding cracks on them. In the case of metal ones, homeowners may notice broken seams. The best solution for this kind of roof damage is to replace the vents with new ones.
Mold on exterior walls
Finding mold on the exterior walls is also an indication that there might be a leak on the roof. The first step to solve the problem will be to identify the leak and then repair the damage to the wall. A restoration specialist can do all the repairing necessary.
Holes in the shingles
Various items may cause little holes in the shingles, such as a satellite dish or an antenna. These kinds of punctures are sometimes too tiny to identify. The best solution is to call an expert for a roof inspection and to perform any necessary repairs.
Chimney flashing issues
The most common issue with chimney flashing is that they get rusty over time. When that happens, water will seep inside the house through the cracks. Replacement is necessary at the first sign of a rusty chimney flashing.
Rusted gutter
Gutters need proper maintenance to avoid possible leaks. Rusty spots and open seams are the first sign of an issue caused by the contraction and expansion of the gutter.
Resolve issues going through the roof
Many issues may damage the roof of a house. Unfortunately, some signs are only noticeable once partial damage is already visible. If the house presents any sign that may indicate roof damage, do not hesitate to contact an expert. A specialist in roof restoration will be able to identify and solve the problem efficiently.
