5 SIGNS THAT YOU MIGHT NEED ROOFING SERVICES
The fall and winter is a terrible time
to discover you have a leaky roof.
Thankfully, there are plenty of roofing
specialists you can fi nd in LI Press
Home Pros.
Here are 5 signals that your roof is
asking for a refresh.
1. STANDING WATER
Pooling water occurs for two reasons:
the roof was not installed properly and
a drain is clogged. Unclogging drains is
easy but an improper installation is not.
In some cases, you may need a new roof.
2. STAINING ON INTERIOR
CEILINGS OR WALLS
Those water stains or discoloration
on your walls or ceilings? Maybe your
roof’s underlayment is allowing moisture
into your home, which leads to the
stains. Replacing your roof will solve
this problem.
3. HIGHER ENERGY BILLS
If you suddenly see a spike in your air
conditioning or heating costs, the cool
or warm air may be leaking out through
your roof. Have it checked out.
4. DARK STAINED AREAS
ON YOUR ROOF
An early warning sign of roof damage, a dark
or stained area on your roof is a result of algae
or fungi growth. If you let it linger, it will
start eating eating away at the shingle base,
causing shingles them to loosen and decay.
5. BIG BUBBLES ON A FLAT
ROOFING
Another pain for building owners with
fl at roofs or tar roofs is the bubbles that
occur on the surface, either from extreme
heat or a poor installation. At fi rst, the
bubbles fi ll with air but if punctured they
bloat with water. If you don’t act, the water
fi lled bubbles will damage your roof.
