Keep Your Home Covered: 5 Signs You Need a Roof Inspection
Living in beautiful Oak Brook, Illinois, means enjoying all four seasons. But those changing seasons can wreak havoc on your roof. Here at Quantum Exteriors, we're dedicated to keeping your home safe and dry year-round.
Today, we want to share 5 key signs that it's time to schedule a professional roof inspection:
1. Missing or Damaged Shingles:
After a harsh winter or strong winds, check your roof for missing or damaged shingles. These hardworking materials shield your home from the elements, and any gaps can lead to leaks.
2. Leaks and Water Stains:
Don't ignore water stains on your ceilings, walls, or even in your attic. Leaks can cause serious structural damage and mold growth, so it's crucial to address them quickly.
3. Roof is Sagging or Drooping:
A healthy roof maintains a straight and even line. If you notice any sagging or drooping, it could indicate structural issues or water damage. Don't wait for a collapse – call a professional for an inspection.
4. Age of Your Roof:
Asphalt shingles, common in Oak Brook, typically last 20-25 years. If your roof is nearing that age, even if it looks okay, a professional inspection can identify potential problems before they become major issues.
5. Moss or Algae Growth:
While not an immediate threat, moss and algae growth on your roof can trap moisture and deteriorate shingles over time. A professional cleaning can remove these growths and extend the lifespan of your roof.
Don't wait for disaster to strike! If you notice any of these signs, it's time to call Quantum Exteriors for an inspection. We can assess the damage and advise you on whether repairs are possible or if a full roof replacement is necessary.
