Signs You Need to Replace Your Roof
Worn Out Shingles
Bent or missing shingles are signs it's time to replace your roof. Damaged shingles expose your roof to the elements, causing the roof to age quickly.
Smooth Shingles
Granules create the rocky, rough texture of shingles. Without the granules, you’re left with a smooth piece of rubber. The granules act as a weatherproofing property. Without the granules, water and other elements will sneak into your roof. If you find the granules in your gutters or at the bottom of your downspouts, it might be time to have your roof inspected.
Mold
If your roof is not weatherproofed due to aged shingles or leaks, you might have mold growing on the underside of your roof. Mold can be toxic to you and your family.
Ice Dams
If you have massive icicles forming on your roof every winter, it’s a sign that you have an “ice dam” building due to an older roof. When roofs age, they lose the ability to regulate temperature due to the lack of weatherproofing. As the snow melts, the cold air trapped inside of the roof will freeze it again into icicles. To protect your animals, property, and children from the large icicles, consider having your roof replaced or weatherproofed before winter falls.
Roof or Chimney Leaks
Do you have a lucky bucket you stick under your leaking roof during a rainstorm? Leaks from your ceiling and from your chimney are massive signs that your roof needs to be replaced or that your weatherproofing needs updating.
