Over time, constant exposure to the elements will inevitably cause damage to your roof. As a result, every homeowner, at some point, will need to do some roof repairs. Some signs of roof damage are obvious while some may take more investigating. The team at Lasco Roofing & Sheet Metal has New Milford, CT’s leading experts at roof repair.

Here, they share a few tips for spotting roof damage:

• Check For Water Damage: Check for water stains, wet framework, a damp smell, or peeling paint. If there are water spots, chances are there's a leak. Damage like this should not be ignored; in extreme cases, a roof can have severe rotting from water damage, which could cause it to collapse.
• Sagging Ceiling: Water damage is not always obvious; however, a ceiling that is warped or sagging is often an indication of water damage. If you can’t spot the water marks or leaks, check your attic. Water damage usually shows up there first.
• Inspect Your Roof From The Outside: After performing an indoor inspection, you should check the outside. When inspecting your roof, don't forget to check your gutters, chimney, ventilation pipes, as well as your roof flashings for damages. If your roof is discolored, has missing shingles, or the gutters are pulling away from your home, you should call a professional to address the issue.
• Hire A Professional:  Although you can inspect your roof on your own, some things are better left to the professionals. A professional roofing contractor is well-trained and has the right tools to check on your roof. They also observe safety measures at work. You can save money when you hire their services because they can address secondary roof problems before they become a major disaster.
