Given the role it plays, your roof is subjected to numerous threats everyday, ranging from the harsh elements down to simple debris. And while roofing systems are built to last, they will deteriorate, requiring you to call a roofer for repairs.
Below are some of the most common reasons why roofs need repairs:
- Flashing Damage – Flashing are designed to seal joints in roofs to keep out moisture. When there is damage then, flashing fails to perform as expected, letting in moisture that can seep into a roofing system and cause further problems.
- Roof Leaks – Damage to a roofing system can also occur in other components, resulting in a roof leak. Caught early enough, the source of a roof leak can be easily repaired.
- Missing Roofing Material – Strong winds can lead to shingle blow-offs, leading to bald spots in a roofing system. Sections, where roofing material are missing, are more vulnerable to damage so they must be repaired as soon as possible.
- Tree Damage – Overhanging tree branches can break off during a storm or a particularly windy weather event and fall on your roof. The severity of damage will mostly depend on how large a tree branch is, but sometimes repairs might not be enough to address the problem.
- Poor Maintenance – It’s possible to stem damage when issues are spotted early. This is the beauty of routine roofing maintenance. Without regular upkeep, you are likelier to require frequent repairs down the line. Roof checks should be done after severe weather strikes your area but you also shouldn’t wait for one to schedule an inspection from a roofing professional.
