Common Roofing Problems
There are a lot of problems that can plague your residential roof. Some are bigger than others, but all of them have the potential to do damage or cause harm if they aren’t addressed in a timely manner. That is why getting frequent inspections is so important. Some of the common issues that face homeowners are:
- Broken or Missing Shingles: Shingles are the first line of defense for your roof — if even a few of them break or fall off, it can put the whole thing at risk.
- Roof Leaks: Small leaks can cause big problems for your home. Once they appear, holes or gaps tend to increase in size over time.
- Damaged Flashing: Flashing is used around roofing fixtures like chimneys to ensure that water doesn’t get into creases. If that is damaged moisture can find its way inside.
- Pooling Water: If your drains aren’t working properly, you could face a buildup of standing water that can eat away at your roof’s materials.
- Clogged Gutters: Not only can clogged gutters cause pooling water, but they can also force it to drain in other areas that are not properly prepared for that amount of moisture.
- Mold, Mildew, and Fungus: In addition to being unsightly, these growths can cause severe health problems for residents that are exposed to them constantly.
- And more
Call a professional and schedule a full roof inspection when you suspect there might be a problem.

Damage From the Elements
A common source of damage to many homes’ roofs is the impact from severe weather. It doesn’t matter if you are dealing with rain, snow, hail, or even extreme heat, all of these can and will wear away on your roof. This process can be rapid, like a severe hail storm that cracks shingles or a tree that falls during a thunderstorm, or it can be gradual. You might not even realize the extent of the damage until it’s too late. Having an inspection following severe weather is always a good call.
Save Money
When roof damage becomes severe enough, the cost for repairs or replacement materials can increase rapidly. When you get a professional inspection, you will be able to catch problems early on. Usually, something like a small leak or a bit of damaged flashing can be easily repaired at little cost to you. But, if you wait, the problems can and will grow in scale, meaning you could quickly be left with a hefty bill in order to fix the issue. Roof inspectors will generally be able to help you make small fixes early to save you money down the road.
