3 Signs You Need a Roof Repair

A roof rarely fails all at once. It gives you warning signs first, and catching them early keeps a minor repair from turning into water damage, rot, or a full replacement. Here are three of the clearest signs it is time to have your roof looked at.

1. Water stains or active leaks

Brown or yellow stains on a ceiling or wall, a musty smell, or peeling paint usually mean water is getting in. By the time a stain appears inside, water has often been traveling through your roof system for a while, so the source is not always directly above the stain. A professional tracks the leak back to where it actually starts, instead of just patching the symptom.

2. Missing, cracked, or loose shingles or tiles

After a Florida storm, walk your property and look up. Missing shingles, slipped or cracked tiles, or pieces in the yard mean your roof has bare spots where water can get to the underlayment and decking. A few replaced shingles or tiles now is far cheaper than the damage that spreads from leaving them.

3. Granules in the gutters, sagging, or daylight in the attic

For shingle roofs, piles of sand-like granules in your gutters mean the shingles are wearing out. A sagging roofline, or daylight showing through boards in the attic, points to moisture in the decking and needs prompt attention. These are signs to act before the next heavy rain.
