Your roof is your home’s first line of defense—but how do you know when it’s failing? Waiting for a leak could mean costly water damage. Spot these red flags before disaster strikes.
1. Curling, Cracked, or Missing Shingles
Your shingles tell the real story. If you see:
-
Curling edges – Sun and moisture warp shingles over time.
-
Cracks or splits – Brittle shingles can’t protect your home.
-
Missing pieces – Wind or storms tear them away, leaving gaps.
Why it matters: Damaged shingles expose your roof to leaks, mold, and structural rot.
2. Granules in Your Gutters
Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age. Check for:
-
Excessive granules in gutters or downspouts.
-
Bald spots on shingles where granules are gone.
Why it matters: Granules protect against UV rays. Without them, your roof deteriorates faster.
3. Sagging Roof or Spongy Spots
A drooping roof is a major red flag. Look for:
-
Visible dips in the roofline.
-
Soft, spongy areas when walking on the roof (if safe).
Why it matters: Sagging often means trapped moisture or rotting decking—urgent repair needed!
Bonus: Sky-High Energy Bills? Blame Your Roof
A failing roof can’t insulate properly. If your AC is working overtime, your roof might be leaking air, not just water.
