Signs of Roof Damage

Weather damage can wreak havoc on roofing systems, particularly if they’ve not been well maintained, leading to leaks, rotting and even wildlife infestations. There are several signs of damage to look out for that signify the need for repair:

Breakdown of Materials

While roof flashing provides additional protection from leaks and water damage, it’s important to check it every 10 years for corrosion or cracking. Similarly, shingles should be inspected for abrasion and tiles should be checked for cracks – regular inspections will save time and money further down the line.

Severe Weather Damage

As a result of high winds from storms, your roof may develop split seams or notice that there are missing shingles. Neglecting this damage could result in serious water damage and leaks which over time can also develop wood rot and mould

Damage from Wildlife

Animals and birds may attempt to make your loft space their home, ripping off shingles or tearing waterproof sheeting in the process which can leave your home subject to water damage. If you notice signs of an intruder, it’s wise to contact a wildlife specialist to remove them as soon as possible so not further destruction is incurred.

Moss

Moss can weaken the roofs ability to provide protection, as it can grow between the shingles, so it’s important to remove it with an air broom. However, it shouldn’t be removed with a power washer as this can drive water beneath the tiles.
