Your roof works hard—until it doesn’t. By the time you notice a leak, damage could be costing you thousands. Don’t wait for disaster. Here are the 3 sneaky signs your roof is failing (and how to stop it).
1. Granules in Your Gutters (Your Shingles Are Wearing Thin)
Your shingles shed granules as they age, but excessive amounts signal trouble.
-
Check for: Black, sand-like debris in gutters or downspouts.
-
Why it matters: Missing granules expose the asphalt layer, leading to cracks, leaks, and UV damage.
-
What to do: Schedule a professional inspection before the next storm hits.
2. Spongy or Sagging Spots (Most Homeowners Ignore This)
A soft or drooping roof deck means trapped moisture—a ticking time bomb.
-
Warning signs:
-
Bouncy feeling when walking on the roof (never test this yourself—call a pro).
-
Visible dips or sagging rooflines.
-
-
The risk: Rotting wood, mold growth, and potential structural collapse.
-
Act fast: Delaying repairs can turn a simple fix into a full roof replacement.
3. Mysterious Stains or Peeling Paint (Water is Hiding Somewhere)
Interior damage often traces back to a compromised roof.
-
Look for:
-
Yellow/brown stains on ceilings or walls.
-
Bubbling paint or warped drywall near the attic.
-
-
The culprit: Slow leaks seep under shingles, damaging insulation and framing.
-
Pro tip: Attic inspections after heavy rain can reveal hidden leaks early.
Why “Waiting to See” is a Costly Mistake
Small roof issues escalate fast in Houston’s extreme weather:
-
High winds tear weakened shingles.
-
Heavy rain exploits tiny gaps, flooding your attic.
-
Summer heat warps exposed underlayment.
