How do I know if my roof is damaged and needs repair?

Here are several signs that may indicate your roof is damaged and in need of repair:

• Falling, discolored or rotting shingles: If you notice a number of discolored, or rotted out shingles, or missing shingles that may have blown off in a storm and landed in your yard you should have the roof inspected for damage and repaired as necessary.
• Buckling: If you notice bulges in your roof, or uneven areas on your roof then you may need major repairs or a new roof. Buckling can be due to several different factors including poor workmanship, structural problems, poor ventilation or insulation, or water damage that can warp the plywood sheets that are laid over the rafters when a roof is placed on the home.
• Sagging Ceilings: If you notice sagging ceilings in your home this can be a sign of water damage and it is important to check for water damage both inside and outside on the roof. Include an inspection of the attic, which is where water damage is first likely to occur if there is a problem with the roof.
• Mold or Mildew: In San Bernadino, the warm climate can cause mold or mildew. Mold can e seen by looking in the attic of the home. If often occurs from water leaking through a roof. If you discover mold a roofing professional should inspect the roof and home for leaks and additional damage. Mold should be removed immediately because it poses a serious health risk.
• Roof rot: Roof rot is a sign that the roof, or parts of the roof, are in serious decay. A rotted roof cannot protect a home from the elements. If water damage has not yet occurred, it will soon happen. A roofing professional should be called immediately to assess the extent or the damage and what repairs are needed.

How often should I have my roof checked if I can’t see any damage?

Your roof is vital to protecting your home from the elements-sun, snow, rain, and wind. When you wait until damage occurs it can cost you significantly more than regularly maintaining your roof. Most roofing professionals suggest inspecting your roof twice a year-in the spring and in the fall, and after any severe weather-especially hail storms, hurricanes or storms with high wind speeds and heavy rain. A typical inspection includes the following:

• Insulation and ventilation: These are important areas to treat. Insufficient insulation or ventilation can cause water damage and lost money in unnecessary heating costs.
• Gutters: Gutters allow water to drain down the sides of the house. If gutters are full with debris, water damage can occur.
• Flashing: flashing protects against interior water damage from water penetration around objects that protrude from the roof such as chimneys and vent pipes. The flashing should be checked regularly to make certain they have no cracks and are water-tight.
• Soffit: Soffits provide a barrier in the hang of the roof and are designed to keep out insects and rodents. Small animals may chew through this mesh-like barrier so it should be regularly inspected to ensure its integrity so animals can’t enter your home and cause additional damage.
• Shingles: The roof will be checked for missing, curled, loose, brittle or deteriorated shingles.
• Seals: All shingle seals are checked to help prevent wind damage and storm collars at pipes are checked for proper sealing.

Our experts check these and other areas while performing a roof inspection to ensure repairs are not necessary and that your roof is in good condition, able to protect your home against the elements.

Most roofs last 25 years of more now. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, the cost or repairing it may be more than simply replacing it. Our roofing contractors provide you with all of the information you need to make an informed decision, including a cost-free, no-obligation quote in the event your roof needs repair or replacement.
