Factors That Affect Roofs
- Sun delivers a combination of ultraviolet rays and heat can prematurely age a roof.
- Snow or ice that melts and refreezes (called ice damming) pushes up the roofing material and causes leaks. Ice damming can be a temporary problem that ends when the thaw is complete. Excessive amounts can damage the roof and roof structure.
- Rain is normally kept at bay by a roof. But when rain or moisture gets underneath roofing, damage can occur.
- Wind can remove any roof in the most extreme occurrence. However even minimal amounts can weaken a poorly installed roof by letting dirt and moisture get underneath.
- Moisture from condensation underneath a roof not only harms the roof and sheathing, but also can cause problems inside of the house.
- Trees provide shade to help cool a house. They also provide leaves and limbs that can fall or scrub against the roof.
- Algae and moss get a foothold on moist surfaces. Excessive growth can retain moisture and cause eventual weakening of the roofing material.
