If you’re like many homeowners, keeping your roof in great shape is a top priority. However, it is often the case that homeowners may not have the time or knowledge to conduct a thorough inspection of their Summerville roofing to determine whether it is structurally sound and free of problems. Lacking the ability to examine your roof can be problematic. Here at Lowcountry Roofing, our team of professionals can examine your roof and identify signs that indicate you’re in need of a replacement.
Signs Of Roof Damage
There are a number of signs you should look for when attempting to determine whether you need a new roof. One of the first signs that can indicate replacement is necessary is a sagging roof deck. Additionally, signs of leaking or water damage generally indicate that you need a roof replacement. Dark spots and trails are two more signs that your current roof has grown old.
Exterior Check
When you examine the exterior of your roof in order to determine whether it needs replacement, there are several things that you should be aware of. Firstly, you should attempt to locate things such as missing shingles, blistering, curling, damaged flashing, buckling and rotting. You should also be on the look out for the growth of algae, which generally occurs in humid climates but can also reveal itself in stains that are dark or green in appearance.
