Warning Signs of Roof Damage

A variety of factors can cause damage to your roof. Knowing the signs of roof damage can help you fix minor roof problems before they become serious and require extensive repairs.​

MISSING SHINGLES

• Caused by improper fastening
• Exposure to high winds
• Age of shingles
• Extreme weather conditions

BUCKLING

• Caused by hot air from attic forcing shingles to buckle away from the frame
• Improper ventilation
• Movement of the deck

CURLING

• Caused by water absorption (in wood or fiber-reinforced shake)
• Ventilation issues
• Lack of back coating

ROTTING

• Caused by absorption of moisture by the mat
• Common problem with organic-based shingles
• Poor ventilation in attic
• Improperly vented bathrooms, kitchen and dryer exhaust
• Can be hiding more severe problems under shingles where water can do damage to rafters and ceilings

ALGAE GROWTH

• Caused by growth of airbourne algae
• Occurs most often in warm, humid climates such as the southeast United States
• Shingles unable to deflect UV rays and heat away from roof and attic will become hot which will raise air conditioning costs
• Blistering or Bubbling
• Caused by moisture in the shingle
• Occurs when ventillation is inadequate

DAMAGED FLASHING

• Caused by improper installation/sealing
• Drying and cracking on an old roof
• Dented by improper nailing
• Settling of the structure
• Age
• Extreme weather conditions

MISSING GRANULES

• Age can cause the top layer of protective granuels to wear away
• Extreme weather conditions
• Old shingles become fragile and brittle
• Large amounts of granules in your rain gutters (new roofs will have granuel loss at first)

Inside Warning Signs of Roof Damage

There are many warning signs that you can look for inside your home which can indicate the need for a new roof or for a complete roof inspection.

SAGGING DECKING BETWEEN RAFTERS

Sagging or deteriorating rafters require replacement when a new roof is installed.

LIGHT

Light that shines from the outside that can be seen through the roof.

SIGNS OF LEAKING IN THE ATTIC

Dark spots in the wood, especially around vents, chimneys, and other holes to the roof.

Test dark spots in the wood to see if they are wet/damp or are simply knot holes or old leaks. If the spot is still wet, or if it is soft (test with a screwdriver), the spot is a current problem. If the spot is dry and hard, it is most likely an old problem that has been fixed.

Water stains, or sagging ceilings, usually a sign of water damage, could be due to an active leak in the roof or to condensation caused by poor roof ventilation.
