Roofing Problems Homeowners Should Look For
Having a roof that is functioning properly is one of the most important elements of your home or commercial building. It’s easy to forget about your roof when it’s doing its job to protect your family. But all roofs eventually have issues from storm damage or long term aging. An inspection from the highly trained professionals at Origin Exteriors may be needed to find hidden damage on your roof, but there are a few common roofing problems that you can look for yourself.

Damaged Shingles and Flashing
When you see missing or damaged shingles on your roof those are areas where your roof may be vulnerable to water. The same can be said for your flashing, which works to keep your roof sealed against rain and moisture. The longer you wait to get this damage fixed the more possible problems you’ll have down the road.
Standing Water
Seeing standing water is more common on flat roofs or roofs with a very low slope that have begun to sag in certain areas. These roofs are not allowing the water to properly drain. But standing water on the ground at the base of your home’s foundation can be a problem too, and faulty gutters may be to blame.
Bad Attic Ventilation
Having problems with your roof’s ventilation can lead to many different problems both inside and outside of your home. When moisture accumulates in your attic over time it can lead to damage to insulation, your rafters, and even raise your energy costs. In the winter, poor ventilation can lead to ice dams as well.
Leaking Roof
A leaking roof can be one of the most serious roofing problems your home can experience. Over time leaks can lead to interior damage to your walls and ceilings. Left untreated you could even have structural damage to your home.
