Don't wait until it's too late. Learn to spot these five critical warning signs that indicate your roof needs professional attention right away.
Catch Problems Early, Save Money Later
Your roof is your home's first line of defence against the elements. Ignoring early warning signs can lead to costly repairs or even a full roof replacement. Here are five signs to watch for.
1. Water Stains on Ceilings
Brown or yellowish stains on your ceiling are a clear indicator of roof leaks. Even small stains can indicate significant water damage above.
2. Missing or Damaged Tiles
After heavy rains or strong winds, inspect your roof for missing, cracked, or curling tiles. Damaged tiles expose the underlayment to water damage.
3. Sagging Roof Sections
A sagging roof is a serious structural issue that needs immediate professional attention. This could indicate water damage to the decking or structural supports.
4. Increased Energy Bills
If your energy bills are rising unexpectedly, poor roof insulation or ventilation could be the culprit. Damaged roofing allows heat transfer, making your HVAC system work harder.
5. Visible Daylight Through the Roof
If you can see daylight through your roof boards from the attic, you have gaps that allow water, air, and pests to enter your home.
