If you want your roof to last as long as possible, it’s important to have it installed correctly and maintained as needed. Avoiding some of the most common roofing problems can help your roof last longer.

Improper Ventilation

A common cause of roof problems is poor ventilation. When the roof is improperly ventilated, heat builds up in the attic, which causes the roof to deteriorate more quickly. Shingles will begin to curl or buckle and granules fall off more quickly.

Ignoring Repairs

Ignoring repairs and maintenance can also be problematic. If you notice any broken or missing shingles, pooling water, or other signs of a damaged roof, be sure to call professionals for repairs. Make sure a reputable company completes the repairs to prevent future problems.

Incorrect Flashing

The roof flashing is one of the most important components of the roof because it protects the underlying materials. If the flashing isn’t installed correctly or gets damaged in any way, you’re likely to experience problems like leaking, weakening structures, and other issues.

Leaks

Leaks are a common roof problem and can have multiple causes. Damaged shingles or flashing, ice dams, worn out materials, and other problems can cause leaks. It’s important to identify and have leaks repaired as soon as possible to protect your roof.
