WaynCo Roofing, LLC

The roof is one of your home’s main lines of defense against weather extremes and harsh outdoor elements. However, there will come a time that it will need to be replaced. Various factors can affect how long your roof will last but there are ways you can extend its lifespan. 

Read on to find out common causes of roof failure from a roof repair and replacement expert. 

Improper Installation

It always pays to hire a reliable contractor for significant investments, such as a roof replacement. Even if you choose high-quality materials, improper installation can still cause your roof to fail early. Also, keep in mind that not all roof designs are the same. Certain structures require special attention. For example, low-slope roofs are built differently than steep-slope systems. 

Harsh Conditions and Elements

Roofing materials can experience damage due to harsh weather conditions or react negatively to the elements. High winds and hail storms can cause severe damage to your roof. After a weather event, make sure to get a professional roof inspection. At WaynCo Roofing, LLC, you can count on us for emergency roof services.

Excessive Foot Traffic

Climbing up a roof should only be done by someone with the right skills and experience. It’s especially dangerous to do after a storm. Also, walking on the roof can cause the materials to break. 

Insufficient Attic Ventilation

When your attic isn’t well-ventilated, moist warm air can get trapped inside. This can result in different moisture-related issues, such as mold growth and rot. High temperatures in the attic can also harm roofing shingles and contribute to early deterioration.
