Why You Shouldn’t Delay Roof Replacement

Your roof will need replacement after a certain amount of time. When that time comes, it’s important to schedule your roof replacement as soon as possible and avoid delaying it.

Delaying a roof repair or replacement can lead to more problems.

Deschutes Roofing discusses some of them here.

Roof Water Damage

Older roofs are susceptible to leaks. And once water penetrates your shingles and infiltrates your home, it can cause mold, rot and other problems. Various roofing components — such as the trusses and sheathing — will deteriorate, diminishing your home’s protection against moisture-related damage and other elements.

Structural Damage

Failure to replace your roof on time could result in structural damage. With compromised structures, your roof could collapse and endanger lives. Make sure to call your trusted roofer to help you plan your roof replacement project. Regular roof inspections are also helpful in determining when you’ll likely need a replacement.

Poor Indoor Air Quality

If your roof suffered water-related damage, this could lead to mold growth not just in your attic but in other areas of your home. Mold spores can travel through the air circulating in your living spaces, and these can trigger allergies or cause respiratory problems. 

Low Property Value

If you plan on selling your property, an old roof that is already up for replacement won’t help in boosting home value. Potential home buyers will likely ignore your listing or negotiate for a low price. To make the most of your property, invest in a new roof before home selling.
