Roof Problems - Key Danger Signs

Whenever you spot roof damage, call your insurance agent. Some - maybe all - of the costs of repair or replacement may be covered by your insurance policy. Our Certified Texas Adjuster will be happy to to assist you and work with your insurance.

1. Spots in Ceiling

Could be caused by leaks or damaged shingles. Check attic or crawlspace for leaks in deck. Check chimney and vents for leaks in flashing.
Check rafters for leaks that have traveled from their original location.

2. Damaged Flashing

Could be caused by improper installation or drying/cracking.
This can usually be repaired without replacing the entire roof.

3. Missing Shingles

This could be caused by improper fastening or high winds. These can usually be replaced individually without replacing entire roof.
4. Buckling and Curling Shingles

This could be due to improperly applied felt or movement in the deck.
5. Blistering Shingles

This is usually caused by moisture or excessive use of asphalt plastic cement.
6. Algae Growth

This is caused by airborne algae that is deposited on your roof. While this is unslightly, it typically does not affect the life of your roof. If you live in a warm climate, there are algae-resistent shingles available.

7. Rotting
Rot is caused by the absorbtion of moisture at the core of the shingle. This is a common problem with organic-based shingles.
