How Do I Know When My Roof Needs A Repair or Replacement?

There are a few signs that your roof may need repair, and these include:

Water Leaks

A key indicator is that something has gone wrong if you experience water leaking from your ceiling. Even if the water has not come through, signs such as peeling paint, yellowing stains, or a damp patch could be an indication that your roof is leaking, and you should seek help from a professional. Rusty roof repairs can be expensive, so it is best to act as soon as possible!

Damaged or Missing Tiles

Tiles that appear cracked, damaged, or missing could also be a sign that it is time for a repair. If caught early, you could get away with replacing only the missing or damaged tiles; leaving this too long could force you to replace the whole roof.

An Aging Roof

It may just be that your roof is old—on average, you should expect your roof to last between 20 and 25 years; if your home and roof are much older than this, it could be time for a replacement.

A Build-Up of Moss

This sign is twofold: first, moss tends to grow best in damp conditions, suggesting that there may be a leak on your roof. Second, too much moss can weigh down the roof, causing damage to tiles and the overall structure.
