SIGNS THAT YOUR ROOF NEEDS REPAIR

A roof is the most integral part of a house. It plays the same role that a foundation does for your home. We have to make sure that your roof stays in A1 condition throughout the year and keeps protecting you. You never know when a storm can wreak havoc or when we can experience a snowstorm that leaves the roofs damaged. TK Roofing has a comprehensive guide as to what the potential damage to the roof can look like and how to spot it. It is best to contact our proficient team as we have an eye for detail and can spot any damage before it can turn into potential danger or replacement altogether. It becomes very important to spot the danger beforehand as a roof replacement is a very expensive process. Not only that but it can also pose a danger to your loved ones. We treat each client like family and your safety is our number one priority. Look out for these possible dangers and stay on top of it by contacting us.

Firstly a roof is more likely to need replacement if it is more than 15 years old. The chances of it getting damaged are more and at a faster rate. If your roof has exceeded the time span of 15 years and has started leaking, we advise you to call us for an inspection. It is always better to stay safe than sorry and look out for any potential harm or danger. The thing about the roof leaking can not be confirmed if it needs replacement or repair. Our team needs to come and inspect the whole roof and then only reach a decision.

Cracked or curling shingles are the next telltale. This means that the roof has started to show signs of deterioration and has to be tackled at the earliest. They are the foremost signs of the roof getting replaced. However, our team always does an important follow-through to make sure that there is no unnecessary need for a replacement. On the other hand, missing shingles are easier to spot and can be used to assess the situation. At times we can come and replace the shingles to prevent replacement for a while but that is not a long-term solution. We need to repair the damages thoroughly to make sure that the roof is safe to live under.

Thirdly, the presence of mold can point toward the direction of a leaky roof. Mold is going to grow wherever there is moisture and moisture on the roof is never a good sign. Mold can also be present in the attic as well. You have to be very vigilant and keep checking everywhere. This could also be an early sign of roof replacement.

If you have any of these signs or multiple of them it is best to call us and let us handle the situation. Any DIY attempt to repair will lead to more damage. So be vigilant and call us for a maintenance check.
