5 Telltale Signs of Roofing Trouble
-
Missing or Damaged Shingles:
This is pretty obvious. Check for shingles that are cracked, curled up, or gone completely. Even a few missing ones can let water in. Wind and just getting old are usually to blame.
-
Granules in Your Gutters:
Those little granules protect your shingles from the sun. When they wear away, they end up in your gutters. Lots of granules means your shingles are getting close to the end.
-
Water Stains on Your Ceiling or Walls:
This is serious – it means your roof is leaking. Don't ignore it, or you could get mold and damage to the structure of your house. Call Smart Home Repair ASAP for an inspection. We also do
smart home installation
, including leak detection systems to head off future problems.
-
Sagging Roof Deck:
If your roof looks like it's starting to sink, that means there's structural weakness and probably water damage. This needs a roofing contractor right away. Ignore it, and the whole thing could collapse.
-
Increased Energy Bills:
A bad roof messes with your home's insulation, so your heating and cooling costs go up. Leaks and damaged shingles let air escape, making your AC or furnace work overtime. You might also want to look at
smart home energy management
options to save even more.
