Why does a roof wear out?
There are many reasons why a roof begins to break down. Here are some common reasons roofing systems wear out:
- Neglect. Not fixing existing damage quickly can worsen over time.
- Environment. The sun, wind, rain, snow, and thunderstorms can be a source of roof damage.
- Building settlement. The expansion and contraction of a building can be harmful to a roofing system.
- Lack of maintenance. Proper maintenance prolongs the life of a roof.
- Interior conditions. The humidity inside a building can cause significant condensation problems in the roofing system.
