3 Common Roof Issues You Can’t See from the Ground

When you look up at your roof, you might think everything looks fine. However, there are common issues that can’t be seen from the ground and can lead to costly damage down the road. In North Carolina, where weather can change quickly, it’s important to catch problems early.

One issue is damaged flashing, which seals areas around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Over time, flashing can crack, rust, or pull away, allowing water to seep in. This can lead to leaks that aren’t noticeable at first but could cause significant damage inside your home.

Another common issue is loose or damaged underlayment. This protective layer sits beneath shingles and shields your roof from water. If the underlayment gets damaged due to wind or age, it can lead to leaks and water damage. This problem isn’t always visible from the ground, so having an expert check it out is crucial.

Lastly, moss and algae growth can also go unnoticed. These can trap moisture, causing shingles to deteriorate faster, especially in humid coastal areas like Wilmington. Left unchecked, moss can cause more significant issues down the line.
