Postponing roof replacements can lead to a whole bunch of problems that will result in time-consuming and expensive roof repairs. While it can be stressful for a homeowner to hear the news that their roof needs roof replacements, watching out for the signs of problems, and taking care of them through maintenance and inspection in a timely manner, can save you money in the long run.
Exterior inspection
Your first step would be to pay some attention to the outlook of your home. What does your roof look like on a daily basis? Take the time to do a visual inspection at least a couple of times a year. Contacting professional local roofers for maintenance and inspection will help to catch issues before they become significant.
Roof deck sagging
An early and fairly straight sign of a need for roof replacements is the sagging of the roof deck. Even though the roof may have different degrees of pitch, it should look fairly straight along its lines. Sagging or warped lines may be an indicator of a big problem.
Clogged gutters
If you happen to see granules, sludge, and pieces of shingles inside your gutters, this can be a sign that your roof is beginning to deteriorate. Depending on your roof material, some roofs will break down as they age; so when it rains the pieces of the material get carried to the gutters where they collect.
Damaged shingles
Something that's closely connected to the previous point - damaged shingles are indicators that the homes need roof replacements. If you take a look at the shingles themselves, if they are missing, cracked, curled on edges, dented or missing granules, you will definitely need to contact local roofers for maintenance and inspection. If there are small issues, you can probably have a few shingles replaced fairly cheaply. A widespread problem though will require roof replacements.
Mold growth
Have a look at the color of your roofing material. If there are dark spots, discolorations, or you can observe algae or mold growth, these are indicators of extensive moisture and that your roof need roof replacements.
Interior inspection
Checking your roof from the outside may not be enough for indicating roof damage. The inside of your home also needs maintenance and inspection. Sometimes hidden problems are more visible from within.
Signs of moisture
Depending on the amount of insulation installed in your attic and ceilings, you may notice a leak only after it's done some serious damage. Check your attic regularly to look for signs of moisture such as water staining, mold and mildew growth, and pooling water.
