Signs You Need a New Roof It can be hard to know when you need a roof replacement
as it’s not something you check every day. However, it is important you check
for signs of damage at least twice a year. Finding any damages early can save
you a lot of hassle and money in the long run.
This month’s blog at John Asseter Roofing
Services looks at some of the signs you need a new roof. For more
information, don’t hesitate to call us in Basingstoke on 01264 735 433 .
Water Damage If you find some damp patches in the upper floors of your
property, you may simply mistake it for damp issues. However, leaks are a
massive tell-tale sign your roof is failing.
Even the smallest of watermarks and mould could mean water
has seeped in from the roof. It could also mean that you have a hole or crack.
Sagging Ceiling A sagging ceiling is an early sign of a leak. This means
that you have moisture in the ceiling that is yet to be discovered. If your
ceiling feels soft or damp, it needs to be checked.
Debris in Gutters If your gutters are full of debris, they will not drain
rainwater. This causes them to overflow and the water will run down your
building’s walls, which can cause damp.
Another issue with gutters is that the seals and brackets
will age. This means water can drip through the joints.
Moss & Algae Moss and algae are most common in shaded areas. It often
appears as dark or green spots between your roof tiles.
Additionally, check for mould in your gutters. This means
rain isn’t flowing away from your roof properly. This can lead to the rot and
decay of your roof’s materials, which can be serious.
Old Age The age of your roof plays a large part in when it’s time to
replace. This greatly depends on the material it’s constructed from.
With regular maintenance, your roof can last longer than its
expected lifespan.
