Don\u2019t procrastinate, as even minor problems will inevitably escalate and require much more expensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasroofing.net\/roofing\/repair\/\">roof repair<\/a> procedures than if you\u2019d addressed them right away. Here\u2019s a look at the different warning signs homeowners should heed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Water Spots on Your Ceiling<\/strong>: A water spots on the ceiling is an obvious sign of a leak. The problem is the actual source of the leak is often hard to locate, as water from roof leaks can travel along a circuitous path. Experienced roofing contractors can help track down the source of a leak and repair the problem thoroughly and efficiently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Loose Granules<\/strong>: While it\u2019s fairly common to see granules in gutters and downspouts during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasroofing.net\/exterior-services\/gutters\/\">gutter installation<\/a> or maintenance procedures, excessive amounts of granules is a red flag. This means the shingles have deteriorated and are reaching the end of their lifespan. These granules shield your system from the sun\u2019s harmful UV rays. Without them, shingles become brittle very quickly and can no longer reliably protect the underlayment of your roof.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water Spots on Exterior Walls<\/strong>: This can mean the step flashing where the roof and wall meet is loose, rusted or otherwise damaged. Oftentimes, this issue worsens after rainfall or a snowstorm. You can resolve this by having your roofer fix the step flashing to the roof as well as the adjacent siding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Damaged Shingles<\/strong>: Cupping, cracked or altogether missing shingles spell trouble. These clear signs of degradation should never be ignored, as they mean your roofing system is compromised. The sealant underneath a roofing system can fail when shingles become old and brittle, causing them to come loose on a windy day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any of these telltale signs, call The Thomas Roofing Company, Inc.
