It can be slightly tricky trying to figure out if you need to get your roof replaced or if you just need a little bit of DIY carried out. It’s not hard to forget about maintaining your roof and not doing so can cause serious long-term problems. With this in mind, we are going to run through some of the clear indications that you may need a roof replacement. Let’s get started.
Water damage
It is often the case that water damage is mistaken for other issues. If you have noticed a few damp patches on the floor at home, you could easily think that this was damp. Watermarks, as well as mildew, can easily be linked to water coming in from the window so be mindful of that however we do encourage you to query with a roofing company whether you have a leak if you suspect this.
Mould and moss
If there is excessive mould and moss growing on your roof, there is the risk that the tiles could force themselves apart, creating a gap that lets in water. Have a look at your roof and see if there is any sign of rotting, moss or mildew. You can then deal with this appropriately. If you don’t deal with it
bacteria and fungi could grow and cause water damage to your roof.
Loose tiles
Following on from the previous point we advise you to check your roof annually and that you check to see whether any of your roof tiles have become loose. Just by simply stepping on them and seeing what condition they are in means you’ll be able to assess whether repairs are needed.
