What Happens When You Put Off Roof Replacement?

September 15, 2021 by Heritage Roofing

Have you checked your roof lately? When it’s already showing obvious indications of age and failure, you should consider having it replaced–and pronto! Otherwise, this can lead to several problems that not only cause further damage to your roof and home, but will result in major expenses down the road. The trusted residential roofing company in the area, Heritage Roofing details what happens when you delay a much-needed roof replacement.

• Your home will be vulnerable to serious water damage. An old and failing roof usually has massive leaks–ones that cover a large area and that no amount of repair or maintenance will be able to fix. The warning signs are usually noticeable. A couple of water stains on your ceiling perhaps, or some dampness in your interior walls maybe. You’ll know it’s serious, however, when some areas of your home already have high concentrations of mold. 

If you want to keep your home’s structure sturdy and intact, don’t wait until the water damage caused by serious roof leaks becomes worse. Get a replacement promptly from Heritage Roofing. Our premier roof installation service gives careful attention to every crucial component that makes up your new system, from the shingles and decking to the ventilation and flashing. Using only superior products and materials from the leading industry names, and delivering workmanship backed by decades of experience, we’ll ensure that your home is always protected against inclement weather.

• The roof becomes a safety hazard. Putting off a roof replacement means leaving the decking, rafters, trusses, and attic insulation to the molder until they are completely compromised. Once this happens, the roof structure becomes too weak to hold up the system, causing it to sag. The structural damage this leads to may be extensive enough that it’s not just the roof itself you’ll need to replace.
