After a prolonged period of bad weather, you may wonder if your roof is still in good condition. You might have even noticed small leaks coming through your ceiling and along your walls. If so, you are going to want to act quickly to avoid any permanent damage to your home’s interior structure and household items.
While deciding whether to call a Mount Pleasant roofing company, you may first want to check your shingles yourself. If any are damaged, they may need to be repaired or replaced.
After years of constant sun exposure, clawing or curling of the shingles may occur. As the underside of the shingle shrinks, it draws up the edges. Water is then able to flow under the small gaps that are created, causing damage to the plywood beneath them.
If the plywood under the shingles has become rotten, it could bubble or push upwards. This can cause a buckling of the wood and support beams that can break the shingles apart. This could then lead to further rotting and damage to the wood.
When the wind blows shingles off, it exposes the plywood base. If you notice any bare wood showing, you should have it fixed as soon as possible. It could begin to rot and deteriorate, especially if it’s left in this condition for too long.
