Leaking Roof | Charlotte Roof Repair

There are signs of an impending leaking roof you should be aware of.

Missing or torn shingles expose the roof to water damage and rot, and make nearby shingles moer susceptible to being blown away. Old shingles will curl, split and lose their waterproofing effectiveness. These weakened shingles are more likely to be blown away by wind gusts.

Rused or missing flashing can result in a leaking roof. Flashing is the metal that surrounds chimneys, skylights and vent pipes and often is found in the valleys where roof sections meet.

Ask your local Charlotte Roof Repair and Replacement company to check your gutters, downspouts and splash pans for evidence of decay or damage. Broken pieces of paint and scraps of roofing may be visible. Indoors, look for discolored plasterboard or cracked pant and peeling wallpaper.
