We are often asked by homeowners: how do I know when I need my roof repaired? We asked our friends, the Indianapolis roofing repair pros at Richmond Exteriors, and this is what they said.
Here are the top signs that you need roofing repairs
- Water stains on the ceiling. A classic telltale sign of a leak. Contact a roofing repair expert quickly, before it causes mold damage.
- Shingles in the yard. High winds and storms can blow shingles clean off. If you find one, it’s time to call in an expert!
- Age. Is your roof 20+ years old, or are you just not sure? Call out a professional and they can inspect it, often free of charge.
- Granules. The little pebbles on the roof’s shingles are actually asphalt granules, and they are a good barometer for your roof’s health. If your gutters or downspouts have granules in them, that means that your roof is shedding – and that means you need repairs!
There you have it! The 4 signs to look out for to know that your roof needs repairs.
