The first step in determining if your roof is in need of repairs is an exterior inspection. You will be looking for several key factors;
Look for any broken or missing shingles (or tiles). If you must get on your roof, some broken shingles or tiles will be obvious but it’s important to look for curling corners and edges, and dents or missing granules, which may be a little harder to find. If you notice only a few spots with these small issues it’ll be fairly cheap to replace individual shingles or tiles. However, if it’s an extensive problem, this can indicate the need for a new roof.
Inspect for mold or algae growth. If you can see mold or algae growth, it’s highly recommended to hire a professional to take care of this problem. Roof cleaning is not a DIY project. Without proper equipment and training, the results could be disastrous. Mold and algae grow with the recipe of the side of your home with the least amount of sunlight and trapped moisture. Algae and mold can attract other forms of life and cause even further damage.
Can you see signs of your roof sagging or warping? Your roof should naturally have different degrees of pitch, however, if you can notice a significant dip in your roof this needs to be addressed as soon as possible. This can mean framing issues or signs of water penetrating through your shingles, causing the plywood to warp and rot.
When you’re cleaning your gutters, are you seeing granules, sludge, or pieces of shingle or tile? This is a sign that your roof is deteriorating.
Interior inspection: signs of moisture or sagging. It may appear as coffee-colored stains on your ceiling, you may notice rot or mold, or pooling water. Additionally, if you notice your ceiling sagging or warping from the inside, this is a sign for immediate roof repair in Phoenix as your roof is beginning to give way.
