Roof damage has a variety of causes.  Some are due to age, while others are caused by the environment.  Some of the most common causes of roof damage include wind, maintenance issues, weather and flashing. 

What causes roof damage

·         Wind.  Even a moderate wind can lift your roof shingles, damaging them or even tearing them off.  This can happen quite often in the Charlotte and Concord NC area, especially during hurricane season.  
·         Poor maintenance.  Conducting regular inspections on your roof, looking for minor damage and making the necessary repairs is one of the best ways to prevent further damage to your roof.   The more quickly you repair minor damage, the less likely you will see major damage to your roof.
·         Weather.  Weather damage is one of the primary causes of roof damage.  Cold, heat, wind, and sunlight all do their part in damaging your roofing materials.  Both heat and cold stress your roofing materials, while rain and wind can cause other damage. 
·         Flashing.  Flashing helps create a water-tight boundary between roof and your home. Most flashing problems are a result of installation errors or design issues.  Leaks can occur where flashing is damaged or improperly installed, so it is important to inspect the flashing, along with the rest of the roof during the annual inspection.


One of the best ways to protect your roof is to perform annual roof inspections.  These can help identify problems early while they are still minor.  Advanced Roofing and Exteriors, one of Charlotte’s best roofing companies will carefully inspect your roof and evaluate any damage for repair or replacement.  Give them a call to set up your roof inspection today.
