Ensuring the longevity and integrity of your roof requires vigilance and timely action. At Fasto Roofing, we emphasize the importance of early detection in spotting roof damage before it escalates into more serious issues. Our expert guidance will help you maintain your roof’s condition and protect your home.
Common Signs of Roof Damage
Missing or Damaged Shingles
One of the clearest indicators of roof damage is the presence of missing or damaged shingles, which can result from harsh weather, aging, or poor installation. It’s important to routinely check your roof for shingles that are cracked, curled, or completely absent.
Granule Loss
Granules shield shingles from UV exposure and enhance fire resistance. If you observe granules accumulating in your gutters or downspouts, this indicates that your shingles are wearing out and might require replacement.
Leaks and Water Stains
Water marks on your ceiling or walls suggest that water is seeping through your roof. Small leaks can result in substantial damage over time, such as mold development and structural problems.
