Has your home been hit with a lot of rain lately?
If so, it may have problems that you may not even be aware of! Roof damage doesn’t just occur when your roof flies off or caves in! It can have moisture damage, leaking and blistering that aren’t always readily noticeable. Damage doesn’t even necessarily have to be from a rain or wind storm either.
6 Common Roof Culprits Homeowners and commercial building owners are well aware of some conditions that wreak havoc on their roofs, but other sources get less attention. Here is a list of some of the top causes of roof damage:
Rain storms. Hail and heavy rains pound on roofs knocking holes in them and damaging shingles, often to the point they leak, inside and/or outside.
Wind. Wind can shake shingles lose and a huge gust can even blow an entire roof off.
Age. Roofs start to come apart and leak once they hit a certain age. Eventually, an old roof will need to be replaced entirely.
Snow. Snow not only weathers a roof so that it cracks and curls, but it can also sit on top of the roof, causing a weak roof to literally cave in.
Moss and Algae. Given the right, moist conditions, moss and algae can begin to grow on a roof. Over time, they put pressure on the roof and compromise the entire structure and can breed mold and mildew as well.
Lack of ventilation. If a roof isn’t properly ventilated, it can sweat and retain moisture which can cause problems such as mold, mildew and peeling.
Objects of Disaffection When high winds kick in, it is generally the debris in the air that causes the most damage to a roof. Tornados are hard on roofs and can shear them right off, but it is more common for destruction to be caused from things flying in the air. Trees shade roofs and can be a real help since extreme heat can cause roofs to weather and
shingles to curl. Trees can also be hard on roofs because in the wind, the branches can scrape back and forth on them. During wind and rain storms, entire branches and limbs may break off and fall onto the roof.
