Common Signs That You Need to Call a Roofing Company
In this section of the YouTube video titled "Signs You Might Need A New Roof - Common Roof Problems," roofing professionals from a roofing company conduct a meticulous examination of a 20-year-old roof affected by natural elements over time. Their primary focus is on identifying indicators of wear and tear, including shingles breaking down, granule loss, and potential issues with flashing.
The experts highlight the critical role of granules on shingles, explaining that they protect the underlying asphalt. During the inspection, they discover significant granule loss, cracks on the shingles, exposed nails, and areas around the flashing that raise concerns about potential leaks.
Noticing improper shingle installation with exposed face nails, the professionals decide to take immediate action by temporarily securing these nails. This preventive measure aims to forestall potential leaks until a comprehensive roof replacement can be scheduled. Their overall assessment is that the shingles have reached the end of their lifespan, necessitating a replacement due to the identified issues and clear signs of deterioration.
As they make these findings, the experts provide valuable insights into the importance of regular roof inspections and the early recognition of problems to ensure the longevity and functionality of a roof.
