A hole in your roof can be truly bad news unless you get prompt repair. To detect any possible holes, keep your eyes open for the following signs of damage to your roofing, particularly after a heavy rain or snowstorm.
Tree Damage Powerful winds can knock a branch or even an entire tree onto your roof, gouging a hole. Check the roof in the aftermath of an especially severe storm. Nail Hole An empty nail hole or an incorrectly placed nail may not seem like a major deal, but either of these may spell big trouble for your roof. Satellite Dish Removal If you’re removing an old satellite dish and decide to take down the mount as well, you’ll leave behind holes in your roof from the attachment screws. Seals around Penetrations Roof penetrations, like vents, chimneys, or skylights, must be well sealed. A broken or inadequate seal literally opens your roof up to problems.
Rust or Rot With time and weather exposure, a metal roof could develop rust holes. Similarly, wooden roofing components may eventually rot.
Poor Quality Roof Repair Repairs by an amateur or unscrupulous roofer just might leave the situation in worse shape, especially if the would-be repairperson walks around on your roof.
It’s a really, really bad idea to ignore even the tiniest hole in your roof, because that can lead to:
Roof material damage. Even a small amount of moisture penetration can damage the roofing materials and left untreated, will only end up getting worse (meaning more expensive – possibly lots more expensive -- to repair).
Health hazard. Humidity that gets into your house via a hole in the roof will eventually lead to mold and mildew. These are hazardous to the health, especially for someone who suffers from asthma or other breathing difficulties, has a compromised immune system, or is an infant or elderly.
Critter access. Another danger is that a hole in your roof “invites” all kinds of unwanted animal life inside. Think squirrels, mice, or raccoons.
Check your attic for one or more of the following warning signs of a hole in the roof:
You may be able to make a minor DIY roof repair IF (and only if):
Otherwise, it’s a much better idea to hire a reliable roofing contractor who can fix up the hole professionally.
Once the roof repair is complete, treat related problems, such as mold or bubbling paint.
