Roof Damage
Your Roof Is Under Attack Right Now — Here’s Why
May 20, 2025•Patricia Sanders•6 min read
Roofs don’t fail overnight. They degrade slowly under constant environmental stress, often without obvious warning signs.
UV Radiation and Heat Cycling
Daily heating and cooling causes metal sheets to expand and contract. Over time, this movement loosens fasteners and stresses sealants.
Wind Uplift and Micro-Movement
Even moderate wind causes subtle lifting forces. Repeated uplift weakens fixings and creates pathways for water entry.
Salt Air and Atmospheric Corrosion
In coastal regions, salt particles accelerate corrosion, especially where fasteners or cut edges are exposed.
