When it comes to roof leaks – sooner is always better than later. Tonys Roofing LLC is your Portland Roofing Contractor in, Oregon and knows that a neglected roof leak can ruin your home and hurt your pocket. These 5 signs will help you discover if your roof is leaking.
Stains, Cracks, and Moisture
While most stains often look like a large puddle on the ceiling, which are often brown in color. Some
stains are hard to spot because they appear in concealed spaces, while others are minor but could be a sign of a larger leak.
A general rule of thumb with roof leakage: If you see moisture inspect it, even if it seems to have disappeared.
Your Roof is Dripping
Another sign that we tend to find in leaky roofs is if there is a drip in your ceiling or walls, or if there’s water far from its original source you might have a leak. In fact, you’re in for expensive repair if the leak has travelled, and this is also indicative that the leak may have been active for a while. It’s time to call and have a professional to come do your
roof repair.
Another sign of leakage is cracks on your ceiling – even if it seems like they aren’t caused by water damage, you still need to investigate it. While moisture is a common sign of roof leaks too, but most people tend to ignore it.
Where There’s Mole, There’s a Leak
A moisture problem is apparent, if you find algae or mole. In addition, moisture attracts mole, which is even more disturbing, since this could lead to health problems and further roof decay. Leakage to this degree could mean it’s time for a replacement, as well as extra ventilation and moisture protection to prevent this from happening again.
Your Shingles Aren’t Flat Anymore
It might be time to give Tonys Roofing a call if your shingles aren’t lying flat, or water is entering your roof and the roof tiles are curling and buckling. While the primary issue could be caused by an incorrect fitting, an old roof experiencing these problems could be reaching the end of its lifespan.
There’s Debris in Your Gutter
Missing shingles and debris in your gutter could suggest problems with your roofing material. There could still be a slow leak in your crawl space, even though it does not seem like there is one at first glance.
Your Ridge Is Looking Worse for Wear
Everything has a lifespan – including roofing and with age comes both sagging and spots. If your ridge line begins to sag over time, that’s when you know you’re in need of urgent roof repairs.
