Roofing damage is one of the most common issues homeowners face, especially as their exterior ages over time. But keeping up with costly, stressful damage can become another burden on the average homeowner. If you’re concerned about the age or condition of your roofing system, it may be time to schedule an inspection. A professional roofing company will assess the health of your roofing system and provide the best recommendations for extending the life of your exterior. Here’s what they’ll look for.

Storm Damage

Harsh storms can bring immediate and lingering damage to your home, but you won’t always spot the signs at first. Autumn and winter bring some of the most severe issues from heavy snowfall, hail, and winds, but summer and spring months can still affect your home with UV damage and thunderstorms. After every big storm, you should check on your exterior to look for loose or missing shingles, fallen trees, and dark spots. You can also inspect your ceilings and walls for any wet spots or leaks caused by roofing storm damage.

Gutter Leaks

Another common sign of roofing damage can be found in your gutters. As your gutters become clogged or aged, they can cause water to back up and slowly deteriorate your property since gutter issues are often tied to roofing damage. Scheduling routine gutter cleanings, looking for signs of moisture damage or mold growth, and switching to seamless gutter replacements can all minimize your risk of further damage.

Attic Problems

Extensive roofing damage can affect your attic too. If you’ve noticed mold growth or wood rot, you may have water damage caused by your roofing system. These issues often require a full roof replacement and attic repairs to prevent extensive and unhealthy structural damage in your home.
