Typical Causes of Roof Problems
Lack of Maintenance :
The failure to find and correct minor roof deterioration in the earliest stages is probably the greatest cause of premature roof problems.
Weathering:
All roofing materials deteriorate from exposure to the weather at rates determined largely by the kind of material and the conditions of exposure.
Wind Damage
Roofing materials are subject to damage from strong winds and flying debris. Generally, roofs are not designed to withstand winds of hurricane and tornado intensity.
