Roof Damage Warning Signs

Warning Signs

At Fritz Roofing Service, our contractors want you to have a long-lasting roof to keep your family safe. To prevent any potential problems, we have created a list of the top ten warning signs for a damaged roof below.

Roof and Rafter Leaks

If you find spots on your interior ceilings or walls, you could have a roof problem. This can cause major damage, if left unchecked.

Dark Streaks

The appearance of dark streaks on your roof may be a sign of algae growth. We have the time, talent, and tools to rectify the situation for you promptly.

Curled, Buckled, or Missing Shingles

Don't ignore curled, buckled, or missing shingles. Getting professional help to repair them now can eliminate a potential disaster later.

Dark Patches

Dark patches on your roof or in the attic can indicate the presence of mold or rotting. This can be caused by improper attic ventilation.

Buckled Shingles

May be caused by moisture in the attic.

Granule Loss

Among the signs of a roof that's aging prematurely is granule loss. Be on the lookout for small grains of asphalt in gutters and downspouts to determine if your roof is compromised by granule loss.

Damaged Flashing

The weatherproofing strips around your chimney and roof vents are known as flashing. Missing flashing pieces can result in serious and expensive roofing problems.

Loose or Falling Tiles

Loose or falling tiles can be an expensive and dangerous situation for property owners. After one of our convenient inspections, we can assess your tile roof and determine if work is required.

Dark Spots on Decking 

Dark spots on the joists or decking are signs of mold and could indicate an intrusion of moisture or poor ventilation. It can be a huge expense if not addressed promptly.

Poor Ventilation

The source of your roofing problem could be poor ventilation on the inside. If not taken care of in a timely manner, you could be on the hook for thousands of dollars in repairs. Worst of all, it could void your manufacturer's warranty.
