3 Signs Your Roof Needs To Be Replaced

11 April 2023 by Leslie Turner

Your roof is necessary to your home. It protects your entire home from weather and sun, in addition to animals, pests, and other things. If your roof is not doing its job properly, your belongings, your home, and your family could be unprotected, and your home could end up in complete disrepair if your roof is not repaired or replaced. If you aren't sure what signs to watch out for to determine if your roof needs to be replaced, read on for some helpful information.

1. Your Roofing Shingles Are Peeling Up

If your roofing shingles are peeling up due to weather or sun, you need to have your roof replaced. Those peeling shingles may not be protecting your roof and your home properly and water may be getting up beneath the peeling shingles. The hot or cold air outside may also be getting through your roof and into your home, which can be costing you in energy costs. If your roofing shingles are peeling up, you need to have them replaced altogether.

2. Your Shingles Are Missing

If you have a number of areas where the shingles are missing on your roof, you should consider having your roof replaced. If those shingles have been missing for some time, it may have left your roof unprotected as well, and the sheeting below may have been affected. You may also have water damage beneath and in your attic, which means your insulation could have water damage and mold or mildew growth. Have your roof replaced and the mold/mildew removed as well.

3. Your Roof Has Soft Spots Or Sagging

If your roof has soft spots on it when you attempt to walk across it or there are sagging spots on your roof, you should consider having your roof replaced and the sheeting below replaced as well. If you see that the lines on your roof look more like wavy lines, you should have your roof replaced. It may only be a matter of time before your roof actually caves in and you have a major disaster on your hands.

If you notice any of these signs of damage to your roof, you should hire a professional roofer to inspect your roof and have it replaced altogether. Do not allow your roof to go on unprotected. You need to call in a professional to do a thorough inspection of your roof and either repair or replace it.
