5 Signs Your Roof Needs Repair (And Why You Shouldn’t Wait)

When it comes to protecting your home, your roof is the first line of defense against the elements. However, it’s easy to overlook minor issues—until they become costly problems. Knowing when to call a professional roofing company can save you from major headaches down the road.


At Moffatt Bros Roofing, we’ve helped homeowners across Ontario protect their properties with reliable, high-quality roof repair services for over 40 years. Here are five warning signs you shouldn’t ignore.


 

1. Missing or Damaged Shingles

If you notice shingles that are cracked, curled, or missing altogether, it’s a clear sign your roof may be vulnerable to leaks. Damaged shingles expose the underlayment and wood structure to moisture, which can lead to rot and costly repairs if left untreated.


Solution: Schedule a professional inspection to assess the damage and replace any compromised shingles promptly.


2. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls

Water stains or discolouration on your ceilings or walls often indicate a roof leak. Even small leaks can lead to mold growth and structural damage over time.


Don’t Ignore This: Leaks rarely fix themselves and tend to worsen with time. Our roof repair experts can quickly identify the source of the leak and provide effective solutions.


3. Granules in Your Gutters

Finding granules in your gutters means your shingles may be deteriorating. Asphalt shingles are coated with protective granules to shield your roof from UV rays and weather damage.


Why It Matters: Once shingles lose these granules, they become brittle and less effective at keeping moisture out. This often signals the need for roof repair or even replacement.


4. Sagging Roofline

A sagging or uneven roofline is a serious structural concern that should be addressed immediately. It can indicate problems with your roof deck, moisture damage, or even foundational issues.


Immediate Action Required: Contact a professional roofing company like Moffatt Bros Roofing to inspect the structural integrity of your roof and recommend necessary repairs.


5. Moss, Algae, or Mold Growth

While moss and algae might seem like cosmetic issues, they can trap moisture against your roof, leading to wood rot and roof deterioration over time.


Preventive Tip: Regular maintenance, such as roof cleaning and proper ventilation, can help prevent moss and mold buildup.
