Have you been wondering whether you need a new roof for your Buffalo home? Rather than waste time, it’s best to educate yourself about roofing issues so you know what needs to be addressed.
While there are countless issues that can occur with a roof, here are three of the most common signs you need to call a roofer ASAP:
Water stains and leaks
While water stains and leaks do occur occasionally, excessive water leakage on your roof is a sign of concern, especially as water damage can occur in your attic. In particular, it’s best to look for signs of water damage after severe storms, as pools of water can form and seep into usual spots in your home. Along the same lines, any signs of debris from storms should also be addressed to avoid further damage to your rooftop.
Algae, moss, or mold
If you spot any algae, moss, or mold on your roof, it’s best to have it evaluated immediately. Even minor formation of bacteria can rapidly grow in cracks or corners within your roof and even cause leaks or stains to form. Overtime, this can completely destroy your roof’s structure and cause the need for an entire roof replacement.
Old age
If your roof has reached or surpassed its expected lifespan, it’s time to strongly consider a full replacement. Even if your roof appears aesthetically fine, an older roof’s structure will become compromised and require extensive repairs as time goes on. As your roof ages, it’s important to monitor its condition and seek the opinion of a professional contractor who can assess the scope of maintenance or repair work that may be needed.
These are just some of the signs it’s time to have your roof evaluated for a full replacement. In certain cases, you may only require some repairs or maintenance. However, being proactive with calling a professional contractor like AVA Roofing in Buffalo will ultimately save you from costly roofing expenses down the road.
