How to Know When Your Porch Roof Needs Replaced

Most homeowners are on top of their game enough to know that their roof needs to be maintained and inspected. However, many of them forget about their porch roofs and how they also need to be maintained and inspected. Why? Well, it’s because they are more likely to notice roof damage that allows water to leak inside the home than they are to notice damage on the porch that happened as a result of the roof.

Signs Your Porch Roof Needs to be Inspected

Damaged/Cracked Shingles

If the shingles on your porch roof are cracking or showing other signs of damage, this is a telltale sign that you need to schedule an inspection. It may not seem like a big deal, but damaged shingles leave your roof vulnerable and unable to function properly, leading to leaks, water damage, and more. 

Dips or Bulges

Visible dips and bulges in your porch roof are a clear sign that there is water damage present. As a result, an inspection should be scheduled to determine whether or not it needs to be repaired or replaced. If these issues are ignored, they will lead to additional damage.

Debris from Shingles in the Gutter

If you are finding a lot of debris from your shingles in the gutters, it is time to schedule an inspection. FInding large pieces of shingles in your gutters means that the shingles are damaged to the point of breakage and are not protecting your roof properly.
