Roof Repair Services

Unless you have a significant leak, it might be tempting to put off your roof repairs until a more convenient time. However, you’ll only be delaying the inevitable. The reality is that the damage will only get worse over time, and these simple repairs will become more complicated ones. 

If you put off the repairs for too long, you may have to completely replace your roof instead, which is a much more in-depth and expensive process. Let the Carolina Exteriors team help you avoid that headache by taking care of your roof repairs at the first sign of damage. 

Common Causes of Raleigh Area Roof Damage

Are you curious about what poses the biggest threat to your roof? Any of the causes below could require you to need emergency roof services. Let’s take a closer look at the most common causes of damage:

Age: The average asphalt roof can last between 15 and 30 years before it needs serious work. After that time, your roofing materials may start to degrade, breaking down and leading to vulnerabilities. 

Flashing issues: The flashing, or the thin metal installed around vents and skylights, helps to direct water away from vulnerable areas of your roof. If your flashing is cracked or loose, it can lead to water damage. 

Poor installation: If your roof wasn’t installed properly, to begin with, it’s much more vulnerable to damage over time. Keeping up with regular roof maintenance can help identify installation issues before they become more serious. 

What Signs Indicate Roof Damage?

It’s important to be proactive and keep an eye out for roof damage. If you notice any of the following signs, contact our team for a more thorough inspection as soon as possible: 

• Your shingles are missing, curled, broken, or otherwise damaged
• There is water actively leaking in your attic, ceiling, or down your walls
• You see moss or mold growing on your roof, which indicates moisture problems
• Visible light is coming into your home from above, which is a sign that there are holes or cracks in your roof
• Your gutters are blocked, which means that water is likely backing up onto your roof when it rains

How to Spot Roofing Problems

Sometimes, the issues described above are visible from the ground. But if they’re not, don’t attempt to climb up to the roof to check for yourself. Instead, there are a few ways you can safely identify potential problems with your roof. 

Do Simple Visual Inspections

Grab a pair of binoculars and scan your roof while standing on the ground. Can you see any obvious problems? Another option is to go into your attic to check for water stains and wet insulation, which indicate a roof leak. 

Schedule Regular Inspections

You should also schedule regular inspections with our team. We know what to look for and can identify the first sign of issues before they become more serious.
