Depending on the climate, roofing problems could vary from place to place. Read below to learn about some of the most common roofing issues in Florida.
Roof Leaks & Punctures
Our extreme weather, like heavy rain, heat and high winds can cause roof leaks which in turn could lead to moisture seeping through the roof. Moreover, extreme weather can also cause punctures from debris being dragged across the roof.
Exposed Flashing
Flashing provides an added layer of protection under shingles to protect skylights, vents, and pipes. When it’s exposed it can lead to susceptibility to leaks through cracks and tears.
Alligatoring
This very Floridan terminology refers to the deep cracking within your roof that resembles an alligator’s hide. This typically means your roof is reaching its expiration date from the wear and tear of the elements. It’s imperative that you stay up to date on your roofing inspections to ensure you are catching these common issues before they get too bad. By doing so, you can save yourself money and the hassle of dealing with a bigger issue like water damage from a leak in your roof.
