Roofs can last a very long time, depending on the materials they’re made from, the weather, and other factors. But eventually, even the best-kept roofs with the highest quality materials are going to need some repair. Here are 3 signs your roof needs repair so you know when to call a professional about repairing your roof!
1. Loose or Missing Shingles
If some of the shingles on your roof are coming loose, or if they’re just entirely missing, you will want to get your roof repaired. Loose and missing shingles can allow water to get to the paper under those shingles, and ultimately to the wood under the paper. That leads to wood rot and other problems.
Additionally, the shingles around any that are missing or loose can start to develop problems, because they’re not supported or protected as well. A small problem can turn into a larger one quickly, and a roof repair will help you avoid that issue.
2. Higher Power Bills
Have your power bills gone up? It could be because you need roof repair. Heating and cooling your home can be costly, depending on its size and the quality of its construction, as well as other factors.
But if you see that your bills are rising, and you don’t have a good explanation for the increase, you may want to take a look at whether your roof needs some repair. It could be allowing hot and cold air to escape, which will quickly drive up costs while you try to keep your home comfortable.
3. Water Damage or Mold on the Inside
Water dripping inside your home’s walls, or mold and mildew spreading across the ceiling are big indicators that your roof needs repair. You don’t want water to cause damage to the sheetrock, wood, and other parts of your home. By getting your roof repaired, you’ll reduce any further issues and help protect your house from harm.
