Don’t wait until your roof is leaking
There are many signs that your roof will need repair before it leaks
IKO shingles are one of the most popular choices.
This is due to their amazing styles and colours.
Cambridge IKOÂ architectural shingles are available in as many as 15 different shades. One thing that all IKO shingles types have in common is their superior quality. It doesn’t matter whether you choose the most affordable 3-tab asphalt shingles or Performance Shingles designed to mimic natural slate, you can be sure that you get the best roofing shingles in this price range
IKO shingles are durable, and distinctive, offer a high level of weather protection and enhance the appearance of any building.
1. DAMAGED or MISSING FLASHING
Flashing is used to direct water away from seams and joints. It is used around vertical elements of your roof. Along side chimneys. It can become loose over time or because of improper installation or the house settling.
2. CEILING SPOTS
If you notice stains in your ceiling, either in the drywall or the stippling on the drywall, this is caused by a roof leak.Â
Roof leaks may not mean bad or old shingles. Water can leak in around the chimney or other roof vents. It can also be caused by condensation forming in the attic due to poor roof ventilation.
3. ROOF BLISTERING
Shingles can blister when the core mat of the shingle becomes too wet. Just like cardboard or MDF wood. When they become saturated with water, they will expand or blister.
This can happen if there is not enough roof slope to shed the water off the roof or if trees are shading the roof from the sun to allow them try dry out naturally.
4. ROOF ROTTING
Shingles can start to rot when the core mat of the shingle absorbs too much water. This is common with organic-based shingles.
If these shingles remain wet for too long, the water can then soak into the roof decking, especially if there is no roof underlayment between the shingles and roof decking (wood).
5. ALGAE
Algae growing on the roof is sometimes evident and sometimes it’s not. Depending on how long it has been growing.
Algae growth on roofs are microorganisms that thrive in moist conditions. They spread by releasing spores into the air. The spores require a moist surface to open. If that happens to be your roof, that is where they will bloom.
6. CURLED SHINGLES
Curled shingles are very noticeable from ground level. Especially if there are several of them all together. Shingles can start to curl if the nails have been placed too high on the individual shingle.
Poor roof venting can also play a role in shingles curling. As well as shingles with a lack of back coating.
7. SHINGLE BUCKLING
Shingles can buckle or ripple. This can be caused by wrinkled underlayment or the roof sheathing (decking) shifting.Â
Buckling can also be caused by shingles being installed over old shingles. As well as poor roof ventilation.
8. MISSING SHINGLES
Improper fastening of shingles can cause shingles to go missing in the wind. Steady wind can also cause shingles to come loose.
High winds can then cause loose shingles to be blown off the roof. Even one missing shingle can cause leaks, as well as compromise the shingles around the missing shingles.
9. HAIL DAMAGE
Hail damage is difficult to detect from ground level. Hail can cause damage to individual shingles and cause roof leaks.
10. GRANULES IN GUTTERS
If you notice large amounts of shingle granules built up in your eavestrough. If the shingles are quite old, the shingles will look different.
