Is Your Roof Old?
Introduction: Your roof is like a shield against the elements, but it’s easy to forget about it until something goes wrong. Whether it’s the aftermath of a storm or just the wear and tear of time, here’s how to spot the signs that your roof needs some attention.
Warning Signs:
Be on the lookout for these indicators:
Missing Shingles: A few missing shingles can lead to leaks and further damage. Take a walk around your house after a storm to check for any that might be missing.
Water Stains on Ceilings: Dark spots or streaks on your ceiling can indicate water damage. This is a clear sign your roof is allowing moisture to seep in.
Granules in Gutters: If your gutters are full of granules from your shingles, it could mean they’re nearing the end of their lifespan. Inspect your roof to determine if a replacement is needed.
Seasonal Maintenance Tips:
Maintaining your roof doesn’t have to be a chore. Here’s how to make it easy:
Clean Gutters Regularly: Keeping your gutters clear of debris ensures that water flows freely and prevents overflow that can damage your roof.
Inspect After Storms: Take a few minutes to check your roof after heavy storms. Look for any visible damage or debris that could cause issues later on.
