Common Reasons for Roof Failure

Many things can contribute to your roof’s deterioration. There are, however, a few things you can do to assist your roof in lasting as long as possible without causing any damage. The most common causes of roof failure should be one of the first things you learn about, as proactiveness beats reactiveness when it comes to the welfare of your most significant investment; your home. You can take action to prevent issues from happening in the first place if you know what they are. What are the common reasons behind failing roofing systems? Shingle roof replacement specialist Barnett Roofing is here to help.

Weathering and Material Defects

A manufacturing flaw or a chemical reaction in the materials used to construct your roof can cause it to respond adversely to the elements from time to time. An otherwise flawless roof might be seriously damaged by strong winds and hail storms due to material defects or long-standing deterioration.

Poorly Designed Roofs

It’s crucial to remember that not all roof designs are created equal, as some are specifically built for such factors as aesthetics and local climate, and there are a few designs that demand extra care. A low-slope roof, for example, must be built differently than a steep-slope roof; unfortunately, not all contractors follow the requirements correctly, ending up with a roof that appears normal, but is poorly designed and is prone to sustaining damage and emergency roof repair.

Shoddy Workmanship

If you don’t take the time to find a good roofing contractor, the job may not go as planned. This could result in major troubles and problems in the future. Avoid taking low roofing bids, as they are most commonly known for poor service and work quality. Also, be wary of unknown roofing materials that contractors may use for your roof. Always stick to reputable companies and materials backed by reviews and trusted service histories.
