3. The company stresses that roof damage can
be attributed to various factors and the list is
quite exhaustive.
The most common
types of damage
are cracks, damage
caused by heat,
wind and hail,
drainage system,
blistering and loss
of granules.

4. Toby Richard of TJR construction, Pennsylvania
says that although the extent of damage depends
on the type of material used but the most common
reason is lack of maintenance. Regular inspection
can detect damage at the earliest and save a lot of
money and hassle.

5. Cracks appear in wood,
asphalt or tile shingles for
different reasons. For wood
shingles age is the major
reason for cracks and this
damages the felt underneath
thus causing leaks in the attic.
Most damage resulting from hail is
external and repairable and does
not compromise the structural
integrity of the building. However
shingles may need replacement
especially wood and asphalt ones.

6. High wind from 50 to 70 miles an hour can
cause roof damage. The wind pushes up
the underside and manages to loosen the
fasteners and causes damage every time
there is a moderate to high wind.

7. points out that
prolonged exposure to heat causes shingle to crack
and causes the water sealant to collapse and this in
turn might damage the shingle. It is necessary to
check the water sealant on a regular basis.
Any type of etc. to
collect water and take it away from the roof. The
gutter needs to be clean and free of any blockage for
safe passage of the water otherwise stagnant water
will cause damage.

8. Granule loss is natural as
the roof ages but early
loss means a defect and
it exposes the shingles to
the elements and causes
damage.
Lastly, TJR construction
points out that blistering
or bubbling up of the
asphalt occurs with age.
Open blisters cause the
felt lining to dry and
crack and shortens the
lifespan of the roof.
