Water Damage: Heavy rain and other severe weather, such as hail and snow, won’t damage a properly maintained roof. Moisture on the interior of your roof or walls, is a sign that your roof is compromised in some way due to water damage. Trails that suggest leaks and dark stains indicate damage and should be fixed before secondary damage occurs.
Broken or Cracked Tiles: It only takes one broken tile to cause damage to your home. Water can seep through causing mold, bubbling in walls and ceilings and damage to carpet and flooring. Not to mention broken tiles expose the interior of your home, meaning it’s accessible for large animals and small insects too that can cause bigger issues than just a simple roof repair.
Age: All roofs age naturally, and elements like pollution, moisture, and physical impacts like weather, and trees can all contribute to this process of deterioration. Your roof should typically last you 20 to 25 years, but as it becomes older, repairs will still be necessary. If you find yourself constantly requiring maintenance on your 20 year old roof it may require a whole new restoration to ensure it can continue to last.
