Your roof is a key part of your home and serves as a barrier between you and severe weather. Though roofs can withstand some wear and tear, it is important to recognize the signs that it is time to replace your roof. All roofs will eventually need to be replaced, and knowing when to do so before problems arise can save your home from major damage. There are several signs it may be time for a roof replacement.
- Vegetation. Moss and algae grow when there is enough moisture trapped to sustain them. Growing vegetation can indicate underlying water damage, which can cause serious issues moving forward. If you are consistently finding your roof to be overgrown with moss, mold, or algae, it may be time to consider a roof replacement.
- Curling or Broken Shingles. Over time, it is possible that your roof’s shingles may begin to detach or even fall completely from your roof. Shingles that no longer lay flat can allow water to leak into your home and are a good indicator that a full roof replacement is necessary.
- Attic Leakage. Your attic may show signs of leakage in several ways. You may find moisture marks on walls or ceilings, or water-damaged structural components. Leaks in your roof can come from aged or damaged materials and can indicate it is time to have your roof replaced.
