Common Weak Points in Your Roof

Your  roofing  system may experience a variety of problems throughout its lifetime. Fortunately, many of these issues are simple to identify and resolve, especially when they are discovered early on. Roof inspections are frequently necessary for identifying these problems, so make sure to conduct routine checks regularly. So to help you easily identify roofing problems, Patriot Roofing LLC lists four common problem areas in your roof.

  1. Flashings

Flashings are necessary for sealing roof edges, perimeters, penetrations, drains and any other location where the roof is interrupted or terminated. However, their primary function is to aid in the prevention of leaks in any voids in the roof system. Depending on the type of roof, flashings are typically made of aluminum or galvanized steel.

  1. Gutters

Maintain clean gutters to avoid clogging, which can impair the performance of your gutter system. Blockages make it difficult for water to drain from your gutters, and the presence of moisture and debris buildup can eventually lead to mildew and mold growth under your roof. Just like your roof, your gutter should be properly maintained and replaced when needed. Make sure to contact your local roofing contractor for  gutter installation.

  1. Shingles

A variety of problems can occur in your roof shingles, and some of these may be an indication of an underlying problem. For example, discoloration could indicate a leak in your roof. Curling may be caused by high nails, improperly installed fasteners or a lack of ventilation. Call your roofer right away to find out what you’re dealing with.

  1. Fascia

Fascia is a type of roof trim that runs along the edge of the roof. It is typically made of wooden boards or sheet metal and acts as a protective layer between the roof’s edge and the elements. Moisture is frequently the source of fascia problems, so keep an eye out for signs of rot or damage.
