Top 3 Common Causes of Roof Failure

Your roof works to protect your home from weather-related damage. Over time, constant exposure to the elements can cause wear and tear, eventually leading to roof failure.

Today, Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, one of the leading roofers in the area, discusses the most common causes of roof failure.

Top Causes of Roof Failure

1. Poor attic ventilation. Having proper attic ventilation is crucial for maximizing the lifespan of your roofing system. If you don’t have this in place, heat and moisture can build up in the underside of the system, damaging the shingles above. This can also lead to mold and rot, compromising the structural integrity of the roof.

2. Sloppy workmanship. If the roof isn’t installed properly, it may fail prematurely. That’s why you should hire a reliable roofing expert, like Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC. We are a GAF-Certified Master Elite® roofing company, offering high-quality shingle roofing systems that provide exceptional, long-lasting performance. When you choose us for your roof installation, you can always expect superior workmanship that leaves no room for mistakes.

3. Overlooking maintenance. Keeping your roof clean and clear of debris is one way to keep it in good shape. But to ensure that there’s no hidden damage to your system, which can worsen over time and lead to failure, it pays to invest in a more thorough solution.
