4 Warning Signs of Roof Problems and Their Solutions

Your roofing system’s condition plays a big role in the comfort and safety of your family. As one of the best local roofing contractors, Nuss Construction Company recommends getting a roof inspection every three to five years. It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on your roof and look for any signs of damage. Here are the things you need to look for.

  1. Streaking on Exterior Walls – This can indicate that the step flashing where your roof meets your wall is damaged, rusted, or loose. Water can enter the gap and cause streaks and water spots. We can fix this problem by replacing the step flashing.

  2. Excessive Mold or Mildew Growth – A roof leak can increase your home’s humidity and cause mold or mildew to grow. This problem can easily spread throughout your home, making it time-consuming to remove. This can also aggravate allergies. As an expert roofer, we can fix this problem by tracking down the source of the leak and resolving the issue.

  3. Missing or Damaged Shingles – Cracking shingles are brittle because their granules have worn off. These will need a replacement. Strong winds can also cause a few of your shingles to fly off your roof, particularly if those shingles have damaged sealant strips. We can replace your damaged and missing shingles, evaluate your roof’s condition, and recommend a full roof replacement if necessary.

  4. Stains on Interior Ceilings and Walls – An inadequate or faulty underlayment can allow water to seep into the house and cause stains. A roof leak can also cause water to drip down onto your ceiling, where it can cause deterioration over time. You need to act soon if you spot this problem if you want to avoid costly roof repairs. We’ll fix this by thoroughly investigating your roof and returning it to great condition.
