A good roof is one of the most critical aspects of maintaining your home. The roof of a house keeps the weather out, particularly rain, wind, hail, sun, and snow and also provides protection from animals. If there is any damage to a roof, this can cause water to seep underneath and rot the wood below.
It is important if any wear or tear is seen or suspected to contact a roofing professional for an inspection. What are signs that Roof Shingle Repair in Topeka KS is needed?
Broken or Missing Shingles
High winds and hail storms typically cause shingles to blow off of a roof. When this happens, the roof structure is weakened, and homes will possibly take in water. Water damage becomes very expensive for other parts of a home as well. If many shingles are missing, it may be time for a new roof. A qualified roofing contractor can evaluate the situation.
Curled and Clawed Shingles
Curled shingles can occur when there is excess heat to a roof. Over the years, being exposed to the heat of the summer or hot sun may make this happen sooner rather than later. This makes the shingles become rigid causing them to break more easily or come off in high winds. This can also cause leaks to occur underneath where the shingles lay.
Buckled Shingles
As a roof becomes older, buckled shingles are more common. Not only does the age of a roof matter concerning buckled shingles, but a poor installation of shingles from the beginning can also cause this to happen. If buckled shingles are noticed, a roofing contractor should be contacted immediately to avoid further damage.
Defective Shingles
Defective shingles are shingles that may fail much earlier than their normal life expectancy. These shingles may have premature pitting and cracking, blistering, granule loss, and lead to roof failures and leaks. They are also susceptible to water penetration. A full roof inspection would need to be completed to determine if shingles are defective.
