Roofs can endure a lot, but even
so, the time when you need to start preparing for its replacement will
inevitably come. Here are some signs to indicate that roof replacement is
something that you have to deal with soon:
-
Extensive areas of
damaged shingles – if the last storm damaged a couple of shingles on your roof,
there is no reason to worry, just act fast and replace the shingles. However,
if the damage extends over large roof areas, chances are that the roof needs to
be replaced;
-
Moisture in the attic
and in your rooms – if you have recently noticed excessive dampness as well as
mold or mildew in your home, the culprit is probably your leaking roof. Try to
assess the size and the severity of the leak or, if you don’t feel comfortable
checking the roof yourself, hire a roof replacement Orlando expert for the job – if the damage
seems too extensive, replacement will be the only solution;
-
Huge ice dams in winter
– the cause for the phenomena is the condensation that takes place right under
the roof when the warmed air from inside your home rises and melts a thin layer
of snow on the roof. The melted snow runs down on the roof lope and freezes
again by the time it reaches the gutters, forming long icicles. In some cases,
the problem can be solved with some attic insulation, but there are cases when
replacement is the only solution.
