Signs You Need Roofing Services
Sagging, which looks like a dip in the roof, is a serious sign of structural problems. For instance, the cause may be damage to support systems like the decking or trusses. A sagging roof needs quick action. If not fixed, it could collapse, making the area unsafe and leading to expensive repairs.
Your shingles protect your roof from the elements. Pay attention to signs of damage like curling, cupping, exposed asphalt, or missing shingles. A roofer in Gambier can inspect your shingles for other damage, like cracks and chips, while determining the next steps.
Water leaks are a common sign that you need expert roofing services. Signs of a leak include noticeable drips, water puddles, and water stains on the ceiling and walls. Without professional attention, leaks can spread and lead to water damage and structural damage.
If you notice sunlight peeking through your attic, call a professional right away. While it could be light flowing through the vents, there may also be a hole in your roof. This requires prompt attention before the holes widen. Holes in your roof lead to leaks, debris, pests, and rodents.
As your roof gets older, it naturally wears down and may need to be replaced. Depending on factors like the materials, installation, and climate, the average lifespan is 20 to over 50 years. Once your roof is near the end of its lifespan, contact a roofing company for an inspection and possible replacement.
If your energy bills increase without any behavior or habit changes, consider a roof inspection. Roof damage allows air to leak in and out of your home. This means your HVAC system is working overtime to reach your preferred temperature, raising your energy bills over time. Potential causes include poor ventilation and holes in your roof.
You should also talk to your roofer about energy-efficient solutions during an inspection or repair. For example, ENERGY STAR-certified shingles reflect the sun’s heat. In addition, while dark-colored roofs trap heat, white roofs help reflect sunlight and keep your home cooler. We can help you choose the best color for your roof to withstand the climate.
