Think of your roof like you think of yourself, it’s common for life to throw things at us that affect our performance (being injured, being scared or hurting in some way). Your roof suffers from factors that could also affect its lifetime. Keeping your roof up to date with its inspections can save you from the top enemies that cause roof damage. Take a look at what they are:

Rain and Hail

When it’s raining or hailing and you’re at home, you can easily hear the pounding on your rooftop. Believe it or not, this causes roof damage. You can sense some dents being made in your shingles, causing shingle failure. This is a serious problem because it could potentially result in water leakage inside the home.

Strong Winds

These compromise the integrity of your roof by lifting up materials, while also blowing in water and other debris underneath them.

Ice and Snow

Just think of how much snow you see on the ground after a snow storm, that’s pretty much the amount that your roof is also holding. If your shingles are strong and healthy, they will probably be able to hold the weight of the snow, otherwise, you may be looking at dangerous cave-in conditions.

Once the snow melts, debris could block water drainage in your gutters, leaving your roof to hold on to the water. This could possibly generate ice dams that could penetrate your home or even a total roof collapse.

Trees

Trees drop leaves every year, while also dropping their needles all year round. If this debris falls and stays on your roof, your gutters can become clogged causing your roof to absorb moisture. The excess of moisture on your roof can cause issues like mold or moss which discolor your roof and reduce its strength.

Unqualified installation and repair work

It’s critical for roof damage to be repaired by a certified professional.
