Leading causes of home roof damage in New Jersey
A damaged roof lets moisture into the interior of your home, and that turns into costly structural damage. In New Jersey, the common causes are:
- Falling tree limbs and other debris — A large limb can do heavy structural damage, but small objects like twigs, pine cones and acorns add up. Debris breaks shingles and opens crevices for moisture to seep through. Once water gets under a shingle, the natural expansion and contraction of water molecules makes the problem worse.
- Weather — From scorching summers to icy winters, your roof takes a beating. Shingles are easily damaged and displaced, especially by heavy snows and rainstorms.
- Clogged gutters — If your gutters aren’t clearing water away properly, the roof stays saturated and moisture works its way under the surface.
- Animals — Squirrels, raccoons, opossums, rats, mice, bats and birds foraging on your roof break shingles and tear away vent covers. If you’re hearing a lot of scratching, call an exterminator as well as a roof inspector.
When to have your roof inspected
Roof problems aren’t easy to see from ground level, or even from a ladder while you’re clearing your leaders and gutters. That’s why periodic inspections matter. As a rule, an asphalt, wooden or composite shingle roof should be inspected about every three years; a tile roof can go up to five. If yours hasn’t been looked at lately and you want a professional opinion on its condition, we’re happy to help.
