Cracked roof tiles

It's leaking somewhere

One of the first signs that something is wrong with your roof is a leak. This is more than a clear sign that something is wrong and needs to be repaired. Leaks should not be ignored because they can cause great damage to your roof. With the first rain, the water will reach the inside of your roof structure and then the damage will be even greater. Then, instead of just the roof tiles, you will also have to change the roof structure, which is a much more expensive process. If you already feel that the water is leaking into your room, it is a sign that it has reached enough. A fast and sharp reaction is very important in these situations and it will prevent the deterioration of your house.

Regular check

Many things and happenings on your roof can go unnoticed. Therefore, you should not just wait for some sign that something is wrong, and it is always better to check it yourself. Roofs need to be checked from time to time to make sure everything is in order. It is important that you do not risk your safety when checking. With the help of drones, you can perform a detailed inspection of your roof and determine if there is a crack somewhere. The check should be performed after major storms. It is expected that some tiles may not have lasted enough, so a check will be necessary. If you see that something is wrong, then you have time to react because you noticed the problem first and it hasn't reached you yet. It can make things easier for you if you keep records. That way, you will have a reminder, but you will also know which part you strengthened before and which part you didn't.

New sounds

All kinds of things can indicate a problem with the roof, and one of them is strange noises. This can clearly signal to you that something is happening that was not there before and that it needs to be resolved. Often, if there is a crack in a roof tile, you will hear water slowly dripping. Also, many different sounds can be produced by a defect in the roof. It is important not to ignore this sign because it is not harmless at all.

Appearance of moss

We all love nature, but in some situations, it can create a big problem. Exactly such a situation can happen on the roof, and it can serve as a warning sign. The appearance of moss on roof tiles or in the interior construction is a signal that something must change. Moss can significantly weaken certain parts of the roof and threaten the safety of the home. The bad thing is that the appearance of moss can have a number of harmful health effects. Respiratory problems in children can be exacerbated if the bacteria from the moss spreads. Also, moss spreads very quickly, so if you don't remove it in time, it will be much more widespread.

Age of the roof

Nothing is forever, including the roofs of our houses. Many sunny days and bad weather will weaken them compared to the first day of work. Try to find out how many years ago the roof was installed and determine if it is time to replace it. In this way, you will prevent all possible problems and become much more relaxed. It may also happen that you arranged some parts of the roof so you don't have to change them with other tiles. The easiest thing is to make a complete change, but that can also have a much higher price. This can be another incentive to keep records of roof repairs. With that, you will also know the age of the roof and when it would be ideal for changes. It is best to keep records with photos to compare before and after.

Sunlight in the home

One of the clear signs that your roof needs repair is the penetration of sunlight into the attic. This indicates that there is a larger passage between the tiles that must be closed. This sign is very easy to spot, so you will also immediately be able to detect the exact place that needs to be repaired.

Preventive response is always the best option, especially when it comes to roofs. The tips from this list will help you recognize the error before it becomes big and adequately solve the problem.
