• Do You Have Plants on Your Roof?
•  
• Have you seen any plants growing on your roof?
  Unfortunately, wood rot festering under the
  surface of the roofs shingles is normally to
  blame. Fungi that emerge from wood rot will eat
  away at the parts of your roof that keep it
  strong and stable. If not patched and
  strengthened, wood rot will expose your home to
  greater losses, such as a hole caused by a tree
  limb.

• Shingles that have been damaged
•  
• The shingles are the first line of defense
  against the elements. Shingles can be weakened
  not only when they age, but also as a result of
  the heat and extreme weather that storms are
  known for. Its time for roof repair if you see
  curling shingles, bare patches, or torn shingles.
  Both of these factors will have a significant
  impact on your roofs ability to deter rain from
  causing more damage to your house.
•  
• Moisture Signs in Your Home
•  
• Moistures obnoxious symptoms can manifest
  themselves in a number of ways. Do you have water
  pooling inside your home for no apparent reason?
  Is the paint at the base of your roof peeling?
  What are water stains on your homes interior
  walls? Any of these things may indicate that
  moisture is getting into your home through a hole
  in your roof.

• Pieces of Shingle Found in Your Gutter
• Everyones gutters clog up now and again, so if
  youre getting what seems to be black sand or
  sludge inside your gutters, its time to get your
  roof fixed. The odd substances that appear in
  your gutters are usually broken shingles that
  have fallen off the roof. A clogged gutter can
  result in a leaky roof or water damage to your
  homes interior or exterior. Gutters are an
  essential part of the general health of your
  household. They cover your roof, walls, base, and
  landscaping by controlling the flow of rainwater.
• Costs of energy in the home are rising
• An unexplained hole in your roof may be causing
  your energy costs to mysteriously rise each
  month. When your roof is punctured, your air
  conditioning and heating systems have to work
  harder to keep your house at a comfortable
  temperature. Depending on the square footage of
  the home and the size of the hole, this will cost
  hundreds of dollars, particularly in severe cold
  or heat. If this sounds similar, contact a
  specialist to investigate the problem. They will
  be able to easily resolve the issue and save you
  money in the long run.

• Youve noticed that your roof is sagging
•  
• Look up to see why the roof seems to be bent. The
  roof of a house should look straight down its
  lines, so signs of sagging and slumping should be
  obvious. Water entering the wood under the
  shingles and inducing wood rot is the most common
  cause of sagging. If left unattended, this will
  result in more expensive repairs or even the need
  for a complete roof overhaul in the future.
  Mostly, the harm is minor at first, and if caught
  early enough, it will save you thousands of
  dollars in the long run.
