Roofing Issues to Look Out For

Since you’re in your home for your work day, we’re going to go through some things that you can keep an eye out for on a regular basis. Just walking through and around your home can tell you (and your roofer) a lot about your residential roof’s current condition. We’ll outline some easy ways to consider your roof from your lucky Frisco work-from-home situation!

Interior Signs of Roof Issues

Now that you’re living in Frisco and working from home, you can spend a little extra time noticing things. So in the morning, grab your cup of coffee and start wandering around your house!

• Water Spots

  • Many of us have white ceilings which makes discoloration easy to find. If you’re super hip and have a color-drenched ceiling, make sure you’re getting a close look. Discoloration for you could either look darker or lighter so don’t overlook anything that looks different.

• Ceiling Sagging

  • Needless to say, if your ceiling is sagging, there has been a leak for a while. You may not have noticed your ceiling discoloration in time!

• Dripping

  • While it’s rare to have dripping without a pre-existing water stain, it isn’t impossible! Especially if you’ve had a recent downpour, you may have a new damaged spot of your roof that is leading to a leak. Don’t only look with your eyes, be sure you’re listening for drips or attic sounds.

• Critters

  • Definitely not what people want to talk about but keep your ears peeled for critters in your attic! Small rodents and birds can cause major damage over time. Knowing they’re there early can help mitigate the damage and lower any potential repair costs!

Exterior Signs of Roofing Issues

Now that you’ve wandered around your home in your Frisco work from home clothes, refill your coffee mug and head outside. You’re going to need to switch your house slippers for your outside slippers and maybe grab some sunglasses. This activity is going to be lots more fun when the fall temps finally kick in.

• Missing Shingles

  • An easy thing to spot is going to be missing shingles. Any little squares of darker color typically means your underlayment is showing. The good news is that this is an easy fix!

• Debris

  • Make sure you don’t have a buildup of organic material on your roof. With twigs, branches, and leaves come critters! Not just larger ones, but insects can make comfortable homes on your roof.

• Gutter Clogs

  • Playing off of debris on your roof, be sure your gutters are clear. Debris buildup is no good for lots of reasons and you can check out more info on the importance of clean gutters here.
