As the rainy season approaches, it’s important to ensure that your roof can handle keeping that water and moisture outside. If your roof is compromised it will lead to leaks, water damage, costly repairs, and more. To help you prepare, we’ll go over 5 signs that your roof isn’t ready for the rainy season and is in need of roof repair services.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
Shingles are your roof’s first line of defense against the rain. If you notice any missing, cracked or curling shingles, or loss of granules, then it’s a clear sign that your roof can’t handle heavy rain and needs roof repair services.
Sagging Roof Deck
A sagging roof deck is a serious issue as it indicates structural problems. Sagging roof decks can be caused by previous water damage or long-term moisture exposure. If your roof is sagging, you need to address the problem immediately with an emergency roof repair to prevent further damage during the next rainfall.
Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
Water stains on the ceilings or walls is one of the first signs you’ll notice. Even if it’s a small stain, it can still indicate a large problem with your roof’s integrity. That small stain can turn into a bad leak once the rain hits if the proper roof repair services aren’t done.
Light in the Attic
Light in the attic is a clear sign that your roof has gaps or holes. These openings allow water to enter your home during a rainstorm. If you find sunlight in the attic we recommend roof patching or professional roof services depending on the severity.
Age of the Roof
The age of your roof is a good indicator of whether or not your roof is ready for the rainy season. Most roofs can last between 20 to 25 years depending on the material used. If your roof is near, or within, this timespan then it may be more susceptible to leaks and other issues during heavy rain.
