Roofing, Siding, and Gutter Issues to Pay Attention to

Roofing Damage Warning Signs:

1. Missing or Damaged Shingles: Shingles that are cracked, curled, or missing entirely can expose the roof to water damage and leaks.
2. Leaks or Water Stains: Visible water stains on ceilings or walls indicate potential roof leaks that need immediate attention.
3. Granule Loss: Excessive granules in gutters or downspouts suggest that shingles are deteriorating and may need replacement.
4. Sagging Roof: A sagging roof deck signals structural issues that require professional evaluation.
5. Moss or Algae Growth: Moss or algae on the roof can trap moisture, leading to rot and decay.

Siding Damage Warning Signs:

1. Cracks or Holes: Visible cracks, holes, or gaps in siding can allow water and pests to infiltrate and cause further damage.
2. Warping or Buckling: Warped or buckled siding indicates moisture problems or improper installation.
3. Fading or Peeling Paint: Excessive fading or peeling paint can reduce the siding’s protective qualities and aesthetic appeal.
4. Mold or Mildew: Mold growth or mildew on siding suggests moisture retention, which can lead to rot.
5. Loose or Detached Panels: Siding panels that are loose or have detached from the house need to be re-secured to maintain protection.

Gutter Damage Warning Signs:

1. Clogged Gutters: Overflowing water during rain suggests clogged gutters, which can lead to water damage to the roof and foundation.
2. Sagging or Pulling Away: Gutters sagging or detaching from the house indicate that they are not securely fastened and need reinforcement.
3. Rust or Corrosion: Rusty or corroded gutters can develop leaks, compromising their ability to direct water away from the house.

 If homeowners suspect damage to their roofing, siding, or gutters, they should follow these steps to ensure proper assessment and repair. Some of this you can do safely on your own. We recommend you walk around your house after every major weather event and at least once a year.

1. Visual Inspection
   Roofing: Use binoculars to check for missing, cracked, or curling shingles, granule loss, and any signs of sagging. Look inside the attic for water stains or leaks.
   Siding: Walk around the exterior of your home to look for cracks, holes, warping, or loose panels. Check for mold, mildew, or peeling paint.
   Gutters: Inspect gutters and downspouts for clogs, sagging, rust, and visible leaks. Look for water pooling around the foundation.
    
2. Document the Damage
   Take clear photos and notes of any damage you observe. This documentation will be helpful when contacting professionals or filing insurance claims.
