Is your roof trying to tell you something? A damaged or aging roof can lead to costly repairs, leaks, and structural damage if ignored. Knowing the early warning signs helps you act before it’s too late.
1. Shingles Are Curling, Cracked, or Missing
If you notice shingles that are curling up at the edges, splitting, or entirely missing, your roof is exposed and vulnerable to leaks. This is a major indicator that your roof is near the end of its lifespan.
2. Water Stains or Leaks in the Attic or Ceilings
Visible water marks or a musty smell indoors often point to a roof that’s leaking. If left untreated, moisture can damage insulation, walls, and even the foundation.
3. Granules in the Gutters
Asphalt shingles shed granules as they deteriorate. Check your gutters—if you see granule buildup, it’s a sign the shingles are breaking down and losing their effectiveness.
4. Sagging Roof Deck
A roof that looks uneven or dips in certain areas could be suffering from structural damage, often due to long-term water exposure or inadequate installation.
5. Your Roof is Over 20 Years Old
Most roofs have a lifespan of 20–25 years depending on the material. Even if it looks okay from the outside, internal issues may already be brewing.
