Thinking your shingle roof might need servicing? Look for any of these 5 warning signs that indicate that you might need a shingle roof replacement service.
Signs You Need A Roof Replacement Service
1. Curling Shingles
Curling shingles are a sign of both an old roofing system and excessive heat. Curling shingles are extremely vulnerable to being lifted by the wind and damaged by ice. Shingles will become stiff and can be damaged quickly and lose tab edges. This is a common sign you might need a roof replacement in Myrtle Beach.
2. Incomplete Granules and Empty Areas
Improperly placed downspouts, absence of eaves troughs, or badly created valley drainage on a 2nd story can trigger a waterfall — results that displace granules with time. Aging of a roofing system or obvious damage can also cause bare spots and incomplete granules. If the protective granules of a shingle become missing, the shingle starts to harden from heat and sun exposure. Granule loss on a roofing system will accelerate aging and shingle decay, and can end up being an entry point for water.
3. Broken or Missing Shingles
Broken and missing singles considerably undermine a roofing system’s ability to shed water and can become entrance for leaks. Two typical causes of damaged shingles are extreme wind and physical damage.
4. Buckling Shingles
Buckling shingles are visibly misshaped shingles, that normally run straight up a roofing slope. Buckled shingles are highly vulnerable to damage from wind and ice and can be detached quickly. General roof age and wet or badly installed underlayment are common causes of buckling shingles.
5. Harmed Flashings
Flashings located around chimneys, eaves, skylights, wall details, valleys, and stacks are all subject to separation, lifting, and dried out caulking. The flashing attachments can raise and separate due to basic expansion and contraction. Expansion and contraction will cause fasteners to end up being loose and the bottom-flashing flange to raise allowing leaks to enter, which would require roof repair.
If you notice any of the indications noted above, you may want to have your roof inspected, fixed or replaced by a licensed roofing contractor. A leaking roof may not always be apparent, on the roof, or within the home; it can also damage deck sheathing and insulation causing replacement expenses to increase. Contact a professional roofing contractor before your issues grow.
