Warning Signs For Roof Replacement

  • 1. Search for leak signs

    The first place to look for roof leaks is in the attic. If you can visibly see water stains on the ceiling, you more than likely have a roof leak. Call your local Atlanta roofing contractor immediately, before your home becomes a breading ground for mold spores.


    Secondly, you can look for roof leaks by running a hose on the roof. You will be able to find the leak. And then take action.


    Look at your roof vents. Often time the calking seal could be worn out around the roof vents. DUCT TAPE is not a solution. You need to have the vent seal fixed. Once again you are setting your home up for a major leak disaster. Letting a roof leak go unattended or putting a quick fix on it, can ultimately cost you more in the end. A once simple roof repair could turn into a full on roof replacement, as well as mold issues, and rotting wood.


    Look for leaks or holes around your chimney. If you see any you must get the flashing replaced. Your local roofing contractor will fix the flashing around your chimney, which will protect your home and chimney from any further damage.

  • 2. Look for missing shingles

    The last storm may have caused your shingles to either be either missing or damaged. Hailstorms are the biggest culprit to damaged roof shingles. Sometimes your roof could look like it got into a fistfight with Manny Pacino. Schedule a roof inspection today.


    Check out your gutters. Are there pieces of your shingles in the gutters? If you find any kind of shingles or pieces of the shingles like grit, your shingles are facing wear and tear.

  • 3. Check your dark spots of your roof

    Elevations that meet at different angles often have dark spaces in the roofing. Often times that area could be far colder than other parts of your roof that are exposed to sunlight. These areas of your roof are susceptible to leaks, damage, and rotting wood

  • 4 Roof Age:

    Most experts believe that a roof should last about 20 years, unless a major storm ripped through. If your roof is older than 20 years chances are you need a new roof.

  • 5 Daylight through the roof:

    If you are walking on your roof and you notice a spongy feel to the roof, or perhaps a slight bounce to it, your roof has moisture damage. Make sure to check the attic for signs of a leak, contact your Decatur roofing contractor to get the best estimate for your new roof.

  • 6 Buckled Shingles:

    Do you notice that some of your shingles are curling or buckling? This is typically a sure sign that your shingles are in need of replacement.
