What Are the Leading Causes of Roof Damage?

Leading Causes of Roof Damage

There are many instances that may cause damage to one’s roof, but out of all of them, there are a few more common ones. Those common factors are as follows:

Poor maintenance

Inspecting your roof regularly is very important as regular inspection of your roof for small leaks and minor damages can prevent the need for major repairs in the long-haul. If your roof has little or no slope, regular inspection helps prevent major leaks from occurring.

Ice damage

As ice and snow thaw on your roof, small particles of water can settle under the shingles. As the water refreezes again, it can lift the shingles and flash, making way for even greater water damage to arise. This process is known to create roof corrosion and deterioration. If you live in an area that has ice issues in the winter, it is a great idea to check your roof every spring.

Wind damage

Known to weaken the shingles, nails, and other roofing materials currently holding your roof together, moderate gusts of daily wind often have the power to threaten your roof’s stability. 90 percent of high wind and hail damage claims result in expensive repairs. Regular inspections on this type of roof damage are highly critical to prevent further damage from occurring.

Other weather conditions

Mother Nature can cause many issues when it comes to one’s roofing. UV radiation from sunlight can gradually contribute to roof deterioration, especially when it comes to asphalt shingles. Once this occurs little can be done to protect the interior sheathing and thus the roof is further exposed to the raw elements.

Improper installation

Roof replacements, installations, and repairs should be completed by an experienced roofing contractor. Not only can proper installation bring leverage and security, but it can also aid in property value.

Types of Roof

There are many types of roofing one can put on their residential or commercial building. But, the cost common and effective Skiatook Roofing types are as follows:
