DONT DELAY REPAIRING THESE COMMON ROOF PROBLEMS

• A professionally installed roof can last for
  many, many years, and oftentimes, homeowners
  wont experience any problems with them until
  they begin nearing the end of their natural
  lifespan which can vary from 20 to 40 years, or
  even longer, depending on the frequency of storm
  damage and other factors.
• However, when you do experience a problem with
  your roof, it never pays to delay getting it
  repaired, as the problem will typically only get
  worse and end up costing you even more money in
  the long-term. Below are some common roof repairs
  that you shouldnt delay having professionally
  repaired

• Holes and leaks
• Even a small hole in your roof can have
  disastrous consequences if left unrepaired for
  any length of time, and unfortunately, there are
  many incidents that can cause holes, from hail
  and fallen tree branches to natural wear. Holes
  lead to leaks, and leaks lead to water damage,
  and if you want to avoid having your belongings
  and even the structure of your entire roof
  damaged by water, you should aim to have all
  holes repaired within days of spotting them.

• Missing shingles or broken flashing
• While it may not be a common occurrence for roof
  shingles to become broken or dislodged, it can
  happen. And as with any other type of hole, it
  can lead to a leak during bad weather, and make
  the entire roof and your home, vulnerable to the
  elements. Get broken or missing shingles repaired
  as quickly as possible, and the same applies for
  broken flashing.
• Pests under your roof
• If pests are left to their own devices under your
  roof, theyll quickly become an infestation.
  Incessant chewing from rats, mice or racoons can
  become a serious problem. To eliminate a pest
  infestation in your home, contact a local
  exterminator.

• Keep trees and overhanging foliage to a minimum
• It can also help to trim and cut back any trees
  or large shrubs that might be growing close to
  your roof, as these may cause damage in the event
  of a storm. Foliage may also block gutters and
  cause other problems for your roof, so trimming
  it back is always a good idea. Preventative
  measures such as this can help prevent costly
  repairs, as can having your roof regularly
  inspected and maintained by professional roofing
  contractors in your area.
