Five Signs of a Damaged Garage Roof

Five Signs of a Damaged Garage Roof

August 28, 2024/in Siding and Roofing/by Blue Sky Builders

Five Signs of a Damaged Garage RoofEveryone knows that a hole in your garage roof is a recipe for disaster. Valuable items like your car, your clothes, and precious family pictures can be damaged by water and humidity, even if you think they are protected by careful storage.

However, there are other signs of garage roof damage that you may not be aware of. If you recognize any of these signs of damage, it is important to contact a DuPage County, IL garage roof repair company right away before the damage gets worse.

Ceiling Stains Show Hidden Leaks

Ceiling stains are one of the surest signs of water damage. However, these stains can be difficult to see on garage ceilings because they may be high, dark-colored, and made of materials that make it hard to spot stains. Monitor your ceiling carefully for discoloration, warping, and stains that might suggest you have water leakage problems.

Damaged Shingles Can Lead to Expensive Repairs

Damaged shingles are common and may seem a minor annoyance, so many homeowners leave damaged shingles for another day. However, water can easily get under and in between damaged shingles, leading to further damage and expensive repairs. Watching out for missing, curling, and lifting shingles, as well as moss growth, hail damage, and buckling.

Gutter Problems Can Quickly Cause Backup and Water Damage

Gutters are an essential part of a well-functioning roof, but they can easily become clogged with leaves, sticks, dirt, and other debris. A gutter that doesn’t drain well can lead to backup and leakage, causing rotting, warping, and other serious problems that can make leakage even worse.

A Sagging Roof May Indicate Dangerous Structural Issues

Structural changes happen so slowly that we often don’t even notice them – until the day we suddenly realize that our garage roof is seriously sagging. Although it may be tempting to overlook this issue if you already have a garage repair or replacement planned, a sagging garage roof might mean your garage has dangerous safety issues. Heavy snow or wind could cause your garage roof to collapse, potentially causing serious injuries and expensive property damage.

Clogged Soffit Vents May Cause Mold Growth

A soffit vent is a vent in the small space between the wall of the garage and the outside wall of the roof or gutter. Soffit vents help facilitate good airflow in both hot and cold weather to help the attic maintain similar temperature and humidity levels to the outdoor air. Insulation, spiderwebs, and other debris can clog soffit vents, making it more likely for mold and mildew to grow.
