Roofing Contractors Near Edina Minnesota | Common Types Of Roof Damage (Part 2)
In Minnesota, we often see several types of roof damage, but all can negatively impact your home. Part 1 of this blog series noted that hail damage, wind damage, and water damage are all types of roof damage that can be found in Minnesota communities. Here are 3 more types of roof damage that require the knowledge and expertise of a local roofing contractor: Roofing Contractors Near Edina Minnesota
Impact Damage
Impact damage from trees or debris often happens as a result of storms that bring significant high winds that cause wind damage to the exterior of a home. Impact damage can be fairly minor or incredibly severe. High winds can cause branches to crash down onto a home. If the damage is centralized and relatively small, getting roof repairs to fix the specific point of damage can be beneficial. However, we sometimes see major impact damage from an entire tree falling onto the roof of a home. This type of storm damage will most often warrant getting a roof replacement to help ensure the damage is repaired properly and completely. Impact damage can also cause window or siding damage. When homeowners forget to take in heavy objects prior to a storm (such as lawn furniture), things can crash into your siding and/or windows and cause major damage. You can often prevent impact damage by maintaining your foliage and storing outdoor objects like planters and furniture prior to a storm.
Mold & Mildew Damage
Moss can be neat if it’s growing on trees or other areas that won’t be impacted by water damage, but if you have moss growing on your home, it should be addressed immediately. Moss, mildew, mold, fungus… these growths are not what you want to see on your roof. These growths indicate that you have water damage impacting that area of your home and it should be promptly addressed by a local roofing contractor. Preexisting roof damage such as wind and/or hail damage can cause your roof to have weakened points that can open up your exterior, and interior, to severe water damage. After water damage has impacted your home, you may start seeing growths (which should be addressed by a roofing company immediately) on your exterior or in your home. Mildew and mold can be extremely hazardous to your health, so ensure your roof is damage-free by getting a free roof inspection.
Damage Due to Age
Sometimes, a roof is just plain old and needs to be replaced. Being that your roof is constantly exposed to the elements, your roof will naturally experience wear and tear throughout the years that cause it to become weaker. Even if you don’t have major storm damage, a home with an aging roof will require a roof replacement. Ensure you keep your documents to keep track of the last time you got a roof replacement and/or roof repairs. Getting a roof inspection is a great way to determine if your old roof can continue to stand the test of time, or if you should get a roof replacement to help ensure your roof will be able to best protect your home against the outdoor elements.
Ensure you are protecting your home by determining if you have preexisting roof damage.
