Top Warning Signs of an Unsafe Roof
Whether your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or it’s been damaged during a recent storm, it’s important to pay attention to its condition. A deteriorating roof can lead to extensive damage if it is not addressed with repairs or a replacement. Here are some warning signs that your roof is becoming unsafe:
Stains on Your Ceiling
Maybe the most obvious sign that your roof has failed is ceiling stains. If you notice a discoloration that seems to be getting worse or spreading, then moisture has been allowed into your home. This is almost always caused by missing or loosened shingles.
Missing Shingles
Another clear sign that your roof needs immediate attention is missing shingles. Shingles are tasked with protecting your home from damage, and if they have been blown off, there’s nothing to stop moisture from infiltrating your attic and wreaking havoc with your home.
Loose Shingles & Exposed Fasteners
Loosened shingles and nails both indicate a weakened roofing system that needs to be repaired as soon as possible—they may not survive the next storm.
Dark or Curling Shingles
Shingles that appear dark have lost most of their granules, which you may have noticed accumulating in your gutters or on the ground around your home. This is simply a result of old age, which can also cause shingles to curl. Dark and curling shingles are at the end of their lifespan. They will become increasingly brittle and surely fail before long.
Sagging Roof
A sagging roof can be caused by improper installation or deterioration from old age. Either way, a sagging roof needs to be replaced immediately. Any further damage it sustains could cause it to collapse.
