If there's anything homeowners and property owners don't want to think about and do, it's probably roofing replacement. You remember the budget trauma you experience after you've had your new roof installed. Now, with the additional roof tear-off on top of your installation, it's going to cost a little bit more. However, it's important to know when to have your roof replaced. Remember, your entire property is counting on it. Here are five indicators to always remember.
When you see huge patches of moss growing on your asphalt shingle or clay tile roof, it's definitely possible your roofing material or underlayment has begun rotting. When this happens, the core petroleum or clay and slate material of your organic roof has become food for molds and mildew to propagate across its surface. True enough, some cleaning can help revitalize your roof's condition, but it is no guarantee that your roof's lifespan or performance can extend.
If you're seeing a huge amount of roofing material missing from your roof and no single or double bundle of asphalt shingles and clay tiles, then it's definitely time to ask help from reputable and greatly experienced Guelph roofers. While you can DIY install replacement bundled shingles, the prolonged exposure of your roofing underlayment leaves it prone to environmental damage. If you don't replace the underlayment soon, then it can shorten the lifespan of your roof and property in relation.
Upon closer inspection, you're seeing moisture building on the sides of your attic. In addition, your roofing underlayment feels soaked and moist to the touch. This is a clear indication that it's likely time to have your roof replaced or at least have your roof underlayment replaced as soon as possible. Unfortunately, if your underlayment is spoiled or soaked causing leaks but there's no clear damage to your roofing material, you'll inevitably have to tear off and have your roof replaced too.
The average roof lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof is 15 years. A clay tile roof has over 50 years with effective maintenance and inspections. However, any roof can show signs of damage after 15 years -- even metal roofing. If your roof is showing problematic performance and it's beyond 15 years old, a roofing inspection and maintenance will reveal the true condition of your roof depending on its maintenance.
Once your roofing professionals from Guelph finally check your roof for possible damages and other problems you might find on your roof, they'll tell you and recommend whether your roof needs repair or replacements. If your roofing maintenance and inspection indicates immense damage, then it's definitely time to have your roof replaced.
