From the ground, it may be possible to see what appear to be cracks sprawling across two or three shingles. Those aren’t cracks, though. They’re actually tears that come from prolonged thermal expansion and contraction cycles. As the sun rises and heats the roof, the shingles expand. As the temperatures drop, they contract. Over time, these tiles tear and become the prime location for leaks and structural damage.
Signs You Need A New Roof
Asphalt shingles have grit or granules embedded in their surface, and these granules create a barrier between the sun and the shingle. It’s normal for a bit of grit to loosen up and fall off (especially when the roof is new). But if more and more granules are collecting in the gutters every fall, there might be a problem. Without the grit, the sun will bake the shingles and cause them to warp, cup, or deteriorate.
Homeowners should check their receipts and improvement records for the date their roof was last replaced. Typical asphalt shingle systems have lifespans of 20 to 25 years. If that time window has passed, most homeowners can start planning for a new roof.
Apparent water damage inside the home is a fairly straightforward sign that the roof is no longer doing its job. This damage could be the result of ice dams, compromised shingles, deteriorated flashing, or poor installation techniques. Whatever the case may be, leaks don’t get better on their own, and homeowners should look into replacing or repairing their roofs in short order. A leaky roof can lead to mold and attract pests like carpenter ants.
