Signs You Might Need To Have Your Roof Repaired

November 5, 2016

Depending on what type of material you roof’s made of, the odds are that you’re going to need repairs every few years. However, if you’ve never dealt with these types of details before, you may not be very familiar with the symptoms of a roof that needs to undergo some repairs soon. Here are some of the most common signs that you’re in need of roof repairs in Toronto sometime in the near future:


Bare Shingles

If you’ve been noting that a disproportionate amount of your shingles are beginning to look bare, it may be time to call the professionals. Wind, rain and other weather conditions can scrape the granules off of asphalt shingles, leaving them bare and thin and unable to stand up to weather in the coming months. This may also be the case if you’ve been finding bits of shingle or asphalt granules in your gutters during cleaning.


Missing Shingles

This is perhaps one of the most obvious issues, but one which homeowners overlook all the time. If you’re missing shingles, you need to have them replaced and get the rest of your roof checked for damage right away. Otherwise, you and your family are susceptible to rain, snow and other threats that could come pouring in through the hole.


Leaks

If you have a leak, it’s always best to have a roofer come to visit to ensure it’s not a result of faulty roofing. While it could very likely be the result of a plumbing problem, roofing leaks can cause serious damage to a home’s structure over time and they should be repaired or ruled out immediately.

If you’ve encountered any of these issues in your home, it may be time to call in the professionals for roof repairs in Toronto. Even if you haven’t experienced any of these issues, keep in mind that the occasional checkup is needed for any aging roof to ensure it’s still safe and effective in the years to come.
