The roof is a very expensive feature of a house, regardless of whether you are looking to purchase a new home or sell an existing one. Cost is one of the many reasons you should consider getting a new roof. Here are some factors to think about;
What is the age of the roof?
Myrtle Beach roofs are typically replaced every 12-17 years. What is the age of the current roof? You can match the date of installation and realize that asphalt roofs have a short lifespan.
Check for worn spots and look for missing shingles. These deformities indicate that the roof is old. Ask the homeowner about the life expectancy of the roof, and whether it comes with a transferable warranty. It is important to verify that the roof is mold-free. Check that the roof is flat and free of bulges or curling edges.
Shingles: Granule Loss
The first sign that you need a new roof is granule loss in shingles. It is important to inspect downspouts, gutters, and valleys. Because the small grains that cover shingles protect them from harmful UV rays, be sure to look for granules.
Check for cracks and roof leaks
Leakage can cause damage to your walls, furniture, and wall paint. It is difficult to trace the source of the leak once it has begun. Sometimes the leak is not where it seems. Most leakage occurs in valleys, plumbing vents skylights, and chimneys. To find and repair a roof leak, you will need to hire a roofing contractor.
Mold on the Roof
You may find moss and staining between walls, floors, roofs, and ceilings. Mildew thrives in damp materials, such as roofs with water pipes or gutter systems. Mildew can cause damage to walls and paint. Poor ventilation, stagnant water, and roof leaks are the main causes of mildew growth.
Mildew can grow and become a sponge that allows for more growth and water damming. Although roof cleaning can resolve this problem, granule loss from roof cleaning will reduce the life span of your roof.
Roof decks with downspouts
It is easy to leak from downpipes that fall onto roof decks. Instead, ensure that downspouts condense water into one another and into your curtain drainage system. This will prevent your foundation and roof from being damaged.
