Every homeowner will have roof damage at some point. That is a fact. After all, the weather elements are the main enemies it faces. Wind, rain, hail, snow, and the sun rays can cause many types of damage, from leaks to damaged gutters and broken flashing. 

Has your roof sustained any of these frequent forms of damage? Contact a roofing contractor as soon as possible! Do not allow minor roofing issues to become worse!

  • Wind Damage

Wind may not seem like it could cause much damage to your roof. But strong gusts may blow off and break shingles. There is a risk of structural damage to your home's inside if water gets in there and rots the wood.

  • Water Damage 

The most recurrent and potentially damaging roof problem is water damage. It takes so long to show any symptoms. Thus, it makes it particularly dangerous. 

When you see mold or loose plaster on your ceiling, the damage has already progressed too far to reverse it. But, if you have a reliable roofing company to evaluate your roof every year, you can catch problems early.

  • Punctures and Holes

Critters, birds, and even fallen tree branches may puncture your roof. However, if you ignore these issues, they can grow into far larger ones. Leaks, wood rot, and pricey damage to your home’s interior can result from water entering through these tiny pores in the wood.

  • Damaged Flashing

Flashing is a thin metal covering that diverts water away from your roof’s joints and seams. You can notice it in the areas surrounding your home’s windows, doors, gutters, chimneys, and other joints. At these points, water must be directed away from the structure. 

Bends, warps, or corrosion in the flashing indicate the need for expert attention. When flashing is damaged, water can seep in between the cracks and cause expensive structural problems.

  • Gutter Damage

Technically speaking, the gutters are not a component of the roof. Yet, they play a significant role in protecting your roof from water damage. Water accumulating on your roof may mean your gutters are not doing their job. Leaks and possible interior damage might occur if you ignore them.

  • Damage to the Roof’s Ventilation System

Every roof has a vent that allows air to enter and leave. They prevent your home from getting too hot, which can damage your roof, which makes them essential. 

Have you seen mold growing in your attic, insects invading your house, or unusually hot or cold regions? It may be time to inspect your vent!
