Common Roof Problems in California
California’s climate can cause many roofing materials to wear out or degrade before their time. Without proper installation and regular inspections and maintenance, your roofing system may end up needing untimely repair or replacement. The most common roof problems we encounter are:
- Sun Damage – The intense sun and damaging UV rays in California can cause roofing materials to break, crack, and blister. Over time, this weakens the roof and increases the risk of leaks.
- Roof Leaks – Pest and animal activity, damaged shingles and flashing, clogged gutters, and overhanging trees can increase your risk of water damage, roof rot, and mold and mildew growth. These problems will eventually lead to roof leaks.
- Damaged Shingles and Flashing – High winds, heavy storms, and overnight freezes can damage your shingles, tiles, and flashing. Other factors that could affect the lifespan of your roofing materials are poor installation, animal activity, and overhanging trees.
- Clogged Gutters and Downspouts – If you don’t regularly clean your gutters and downspouts, water may pool on the roof, causing leaks and structural damage.
- Damage From Trees, Pests, and Animals – Pest and animal activity can degrade roofing structures, and overhanging trees or falling branches can damage roofing shingles or tiles.
- Poor Installation or Low-Quality Materials – Some home or business owners try to save money on roofing costs by hiring people who aren’t licensed or insured and who charge rock-bottom prices. Unfortunately, some of those people don’t have the skills, tools, or experience needed to properly install a roof. They may also use cheap, sub-par materials. The result is that your roof will degrade before its time, and you will spend more on roof repairs.
