Tile and slate roofs are known for their longevity and aesthetic appeal, but they are not immune to damage. Over time, tiles can crack or become loose due to impacts from falling debris or harsh weather. Even a small crack in a tile can allow water to seep underneath, leading to moisture buildup and eventual leaks. The underlayment beneath the tiles, which serves as a waterproof barrier, can also deteriorate with age, making it less effective at preventing water penetration. Flashing around roof penetrations such as chimneys, skylights, and walls must be correctly installed and maintained, as improper flashing can lead to leaks even if the tiles themselves are intact. Our roofing specialists carefully inspect your tile roof, replace broken tiles, and ensure that the underlayment and flashing are secure to maintain optimal performance.
Flat and low-slope roofing systems require a different approach to repair due to their unique structure and drainage requirements. These roofs are commonly covered with materials such as EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen, all of which provide waterproofing but can suffer from wear and tear over time. Punctures or tears in the membrane, often caused by falling branches, foot traffic, or aging materials, create openings for water to penetrate. Standing water, also known as ponding, is another common issue, as flat roofs are more prone to water accumulation. Prolonged exposure to pooled water can weaken the membrane and lead to leaks. Additionally, improperly sealed seams or deteriorating adhesives can result in gaps where moisture infiltrates the roof system. The Roof Guys specialize in diagnosing and repairing flat roof problems, using high-quality materials and professional techniques to reinforce weak areas, patch damaged sections, and improve water drainage to extend the life of your roofing system.
Curling is a common phenomenon that happens with some asphalt shingles but is not considered a defect. It’s natural for asphalt layers to shrink with age. This shrinkage may result in the slight curling of the edges of the shingle.
Intense heat from the sun often causes the protective oils in asphalt shingles to deplete, causing minor cracks. Keep in mind that these cracks aren’t typically cause for alarm, as long as your shingles are still performing their intended purpose of shedding water. Cracks that penetrate through the fiberglass or organic mat should be investigated.
Occasionally, naturally occurring raised areas known as blisters may appear on your roof. These pockets may vary in size and be open (exposing the asphalt) or closed. Blisters are often a direct result of under-ventilated attics or excessive use of plastic cement. Closed blisters are not reason for concern as long as your shingles are still performing their intended purpose. However, open blisters do mean asphalt is exposed and immediate attention is required to prevent additional damage to your roof’s structure.
In humid climates like Florida, algae growth can cause dark brown or black patches on your roof. While these stains will not affect your shingles’ ability to shed water, they can make your roof appear dirty and aged. Algae discoloration should not be confused with moss or tree droppings, which typically produce only localized discoloration.
Extra granules are used in the manufacturing process because some granule loss is to be expected during the early years of your roof. Other factors, such as foot traffic, hail, snow, or bushing tree limbs, may cause excessive granules loss. Exposed asphalt due to granule loss is a reason for concern and requires immediate attention.
While not technically a sign of aging, a distortion of shingles known as buckling can occur months after original application. Lack of adequate attic ventilation can increase the moisture content of the decking material, which may cause expansion and movement of the wood deck to buckle shingles.
