How to Know When You Need a New Roof ASAP!
A roof is one of the most important areas of your home to maintain. Knowing why and when you need to replace a roof is key. Your roof protects your home in several ways. It protects your home from weather, provides a layer of insulation, and helps maintain structural integrity of your home. Here are the top three signs that your roof is unhealthy and should be evaluated by an Xterior Solutions roofing expert.
- Water leaks. Water can enter through roof penetrations and damage the decking, rafters, and joists or cause leaks which can lead to mold. Water can even erode roofing nails holding down the shingles creating a more dire situation. Water leaks should never be ignored.
- Sagging or drooping. If your roof sagging or drooping, it indicates serious damage to the roof decking that needs to be addressed immediately. Without proper replacement, sagging or drooping can lead to partial roof collapse. This is the most urgent situation that warrants a total roof replacement.
- Missing or broken shingles. This is a sign that your roof deck is likely being exposed to water and weather. It’s only a matter of time before damage occurs to the roof decking below. It is important to have this damage evaluated by an expert as soon as possible.
