Having a good quality roof is essential for protecting the structure of your home. Unfortunately, roofs can fail due to a variety of reasons. In this blog post, Jack the Roofer takes a look at six common causes of roof failure to help you identify any potential problems with your roof before they become significant issues.
1. Poor Installation
An improperly installed roof will be much more susceptible to leaks and other damage caused by weather or age. To ensure your roof is installed correctly, hire an experienced and licensed roof replacement company that can do the job right.
2. Lack of Maintenance
Regularly inspecting and maintaining your roof can help identify any potential issues early on before they become major problems. In addition, regular maintenance helps to ensure that the shingles are in good condition and will last for many years.
3. Age
As the roof ages, it may become more susceptible to damage from weather and other elements. Additionally, shingles may start to wear down due to age, making them less effective in protecting your home from the elements. Contact a professional roofer for help if you notice any signs of aging on your roof.
4. Weather Damage
In areas with extreme weather, you should inspect your roof regularly for signs of wear and tear due to high winds or hail. If you notice any issues, get them repaired right away to prevent further damage.
5. Ventilation Issues
Poor ventilation can cause moisture buildup in your attic, leading to mold, mildew growth and structural damage. To prevent this from happening, make sure that your home has proper attic ventilation installed by professional roofers.
6. Substandard Shingles
Finally, substandard shingles can also lead to roof failure. If the shingles used for your roof are of low quality or not installed properly, they will likely fail prematurely.
