Leaks
Your roof is meant to protect you from outside elements such as rain, snow, wind, and heat. Leaks are almost impossible to ignore as they allow moisture, water, pests, and more into your attic or top floor. They can make way for mold and mildew growth and damage the structure of the rest of your building.
Blown or Damaged Shingles
Shingle roofing is probably the most common roof type due to their affordability. However, shingles are prone to damage from high winds and sunlight. The good news is that damage is easily repaired as shingles can be individually replaced rather than having to replace a big section or the whole roof.
Tree Branches
We have a whole lot of beautiful trees in Atlanta, but we also get a lot of high winds, especially during storm season. Tree branches are serious threats to roofs. Be vigilant and look out for branches that are decaying or overarching your roof. Keep an eye on the tilt of your trees as well. Those that are leaning too heavily should probably be removed.
Damaged Gutters
Gutters and downspouts guide water away from the roof and your property but they are also prone to damage. Clogged or loose gutters and downspouts can have water directed into your home or soak your yard. Sometimes a simple unclogging or reattaching is enough. Other times, you might need a replacement.
Damaged Flashing
Flashing is made of metal strips that protect the seams and edges of the roof. They can be found around the valleys of your roof, chimney, and more. If the flashing is damaged, it can expose your roof to leaks and cracks.
Uninvited Guests
Squirrels might seem like cute, furry critters that just run around collecting acorns and nuts, but they also need a place to sleep. Squirrels that live with us in urban areas have a limited supply of trees and have adapted quite well: they make their nests in gutters and on roofs. The nests can clog gutters and their claws and sharp teeth can damage your roofing material. Consider trimming overarching branches and install tree traps to prevent squirrels from accessing your roof.
