When Was the Last Time You Had Your Roof Inspected?

Living in the Midwest can be tough on your roof. Seasonal changes can sneak up on you, leaving your home vulnerable. At Pink Roofing, we know that a roof should last for years when installed correctly, but sometimes things go wrong. Just don’t wait until it’s too late!

7 Roofing Warning Signs to Spot Before It’s Too Late!

  • Damaged or Missing Shingles: Check for cracked or missing tiles. Warping or curling shingles are a clear call for inspection.

  • Algae Growth: Those dark spots aren’t just unsightly; they signal poor ventilation and potential moisture retention issues.

  • Gutter Blockage: Clogged gutters can lead to water damage. Make sure they’re clear and functioning properly.

  • Light Streams: Whenever you’re at the ceiling or the attic, check if there are streams of light passing through. Wherever light passes, remember that water can, too. This is one telltale sign that you need to know before calling for roofing services. Even a slight ray of light is a cause of concern.

  • Sagging Spots: Call for a Roof Inspection immediately. Aside from light, water is an invasive material that tells you it’s time to get your roof checked. Your roof may have a part that is sagging. You might notice a section that is lower than the rest. It’s most likely an indicator that the wood pillar or board underneath the roof has begun to rot due to constant water exposure. It might be caused by improper roof installation.

  • Watermarks On Walls And Ceilings: These marks show a leak in your roof. They can also mean a more serious problem. As the water reaches your ceilings and walls, it might’ve started compromising the roof underlayment. This is the extra protection usually found beneath the roofing material. Allowing this to continue could harm other parts of the house. It may weaken wooden structures and cause electrical problems.

  • Detached Chimney and Flashing: In roofing terms, flashing means thin metal sheets. These sheets cover areas where water might enter your walls, roof valleys, and chimneys. An issue with this part of the roof could cause water to be in places where it shouldn’t be. This is something that requires immediate attention.

  • Increased Energy Bills: This is one of those indirect effects of having a damaged roof. Most of the signs listed above are from external factors like light and water coming into your house. Where things come in, other things also come out, especially cold or warm air from air conditioning or heating systems. When air leaks out, your HVAC system has to keep working. It cannot reach the target temperature.
