Shingle Damage
One of the most common source of roof leaks can be found in minor shingle damage. Your shingles are the first line of defenses in your roofing system, so any damage to those shingles can lead to leaks. Take some time once a month to walk around the base of your home, and just look up at your shingles. You should be able to see if there are any obvious red flags pretty easily. Those red flags include shingles that have lifted or curled away from the roof surface, as wall as any shingles that are becoming shiny as they lose asphalt granules. Also, any shingles that are crooked or even missing are also problems for your roof!
Shingle replacement is a very inexpensive repair service, and much cheaper than leak repair, which often includes the removal of water damaged roofing. So be sure to have any damaged shingles repaired as soon as possible to protect your roof as well as your wallet!
