Symptoms of a Sore Roof
– Your roof has a ‘fish eye’ effect on the surface of the tiles.
– There is white chalky dust on your AC unit, HVAC vents, or other parts of your home exterior from time to time.
– It takes longer for your AC to cool your house during summertime.
– Your home takes more than twice as long to cool down between one summer and another even though you have had no changes made to it apart from new windows that may have been installed recently. This can be confirmed if you maintain a diary noting the cooling trend over a number of years. If you purchased a new AC unit lately, chances are there has not been enough time for it to become efficient due to this phenomenon called ‘overheating’.
– Your roof has hot spots. These are difficult to notice with just your hand but can be detected with a thermal imaging camera.
– You have found never before seen stains on ceilings, walls, and even in rooms that you did not know had a roof above them or windows that were closed for many years. This is the result of interior moisture being trapped under a ‘born again’ tile surface after it failed to have an opportunity to evaporate through the underside of the tiles where it was intended to go during its service life.
– You find evidence of leaks in an old section of your home’s exterior such as around soffit vents, skylights/halo windows, plumbing vent pipes, etc.
– It looks like your roof is developing more moss than previously.
– Your gutters are filled with leaves and other debris due to the inability of water to flow down your roof’s surface into them because clumps of moss or algae are present on it.
– You note that tree leaves do not fall off as easily on one side of the street compared to another, but you cannot find out why. This phenomenon can be explained by the lack of sunlight reaching some areas of your roof where trees shade them all year round.
– You see white spots (which look like bird droppings) after a hard rainstorm or during wintertime when there is no snow on the surface of the tiles despite some type of vegetation growing on top of it, and you can still see the tree branches and leaves.
– You see green spots on your roof after a hard rainstorm. If it is not moss, then chances are there are algae growing on your tiles or other types of vegetation such as grass.
– There are areas of black mold present around an AC unit’s piping where water leaks have occurred in the past. The amount of mold may be clumpy or spotty depending on if it is indoors or outdoors.
This can also happen in areas that receive deep shade during the summertime because large amounts of moisture build up due to little sunlight reaching them for days to weeks at a time when the sun disappears behind clouds and woods (which surround your home) during summertime; this area becomes a warm and humid environment for mold to thrive in.
– Your roof has black streaks that run down it like a road sign, or you see what looks like trails of mud (which is actually your tiles and other parts of the exterior turned black due to algae growth) running down from rain gutters and water spouts, which – if you dig – reach deeper than the surface level of the soffit vents. In some cases, this material will be covering part of your AC unit as well as your home’s foundation wall.
