A roof almost always requires replacement in the event of a complete or partial collapse. However, rather than wait until a major incident, homeowners should always look out for key signs that their roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. The following three problems typically signal the need for a complete roof replacement.

3 Signs You Need a Roof Replacement

1. Sagging

Large warped or sagging areas in the roof may occur due to accumulated moisture or large areas of rot from water damage. While the issue may initially seem purely aesthetic, a warped roof always signals a more serious structural issue. Since a moisture-damaged roof is highly vulnerable to collapse, call a professional to assess and replace the roof before an accident occurs.

2. Leaks

Sometimes a small, isolated leak can be repaired without replacing the entire roof. However, if you cannot readily identify the source of the leak or it seems to stem from multiple areas, a total roof replacement is likely in order. You may also notice more widespread moisture damage by looking for discoloration on the shingles or on your attic ceiling. Whether large or small, leaks of all kinds always require the support of an experienced roofing contractor.

3. Shingle Erosion

Curled, buckled, or deteriorating shingles typically mean the roof is approaching the end of its life. You may also find large amounts of shingle grit in the gutters, which likewise signal a problem.
