Seek Out the Leaks: 4 Telltale Signs of a Leaky Roof

The presence of leaks in your roofing causes significant problems. The trouble is leaks aren’t always immediately noticeable. Plus, it doesn’t even take a considerable amount of water to do damage.

Here are 4 telltale signs you’ve got a leaky roof:

1. Algae and Mold

More than being an eyesore, the presence of algae and mold can cause several respiratory ailments. They can grow on various parts of your home, including the gutters and siding. Contact a trusted roofer as soon as they appear.

2. Buckling and Curling Shingles

Shingles that buckle, curl, or go missing altogether are sure signs of leaks. They are the result of an excess amount of moisture. They are easy to spot, which makes addressing areas with suspected leaks much more manageable.

3. Roof Rot

There’s no reason for any part of your roof to succumb to rot unless there’s water. It is the result of trapped moisture in your roof. Deal with it as soon as you can, as it has a way of worsening until it finally compromises your entire roofing.

4. Wet Spots

Wet spots are the most obvious of signs you’ve got a leaky roof. Water is coming through, which means either you’ve got holes on your roof or on your flashing and siding.

Your roofing is perhaps the most vital component of your home. Keep it in prime condition to avoid complications brought about by rainwater. It’s equally important to have a functional gutter system. With the help of reliable gutter covers such as Gutter Helmet, you can direct rainwater away from your home.

We had a full size retractable awning replaced due to tropical storm Helene and another awning installed in its place within a couple of hours. Great job and I would highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet for any of your awning needs! Thank you again!

We ordered a Sunsetter Awning from Carolina Gutter Helmet. The sales person was knowledgeable about the awning and was very pleasant to deal with. The awning was installed 4 weeks later and it only took them 2-3 hours to finish. We received cookies in the mail a few weeks later thanking us for our business. The people at Carolina Gutter Helmet are experts at customer service. We are very pleased with their service and the awning.

I had a tub to walk in shower conversion. What they did was more than I expected. The installers were total professionals and they did a beautiful job. They walked me through everything and cleaned up before they left. Total satisfaction on my part.
