The roof is one of the most important parts of any building, so it’s important to keep it in good condition. Roof problems left unaddressed can lead to water damage or even compromise the structural integrity of your building, so we at Chico Roofing Company encourage you to give us a call right away if you notice an issue with the roof of your home or business. In this article, we will go over a few ways to tell if you need roof repair—if you notice any of the following signs, don’t hesitate to contact our team.

How to Tell if You Need Roof Repair

  • Shingle Damage – One way to tell if you need roof repair services is to examine your shingles for signs of wear or damage. If your shingles have become cracked, or are starting to curl up at the edges, then you should give us a call to schedule repairs. You should also call us if any shingles are missing. Damaged or missing shingles make your roof vulnerable to water damage, so it’s important to get this issue fixed as soon as possible.
  • Moss or Algae – Another way to tell if you need roof repair is to look for signs of moss, algae, or fungus growing on your roof. The presence of these organisms on your roof indicates there is a problem with water flow, and that some water is likely to be under the shingles. Give us a call to have our experienced roofers examine your roof and find the best way to correct the issue.
  • Damaged Flashing – A third way to tell if you need roof repair services is to examine the flashing around your chimney, vents, and other roof features. The flashing prevents water from leaking in around these structures, so if it’s damaged, you need to schedule repairs as soon as possible.
