Do I Need a New Owens Corning Roof?
Depicted below are symptoms that indicate it may be
time for a new roof. Find your roof style below and
click on any problem to learn what's causing it and
how to fix it.
ALGAE GROWTH
CAUSES: Algae growth causes a dark discoloration
on roofs. The algae is usually brown to black in color
which results in a streaked, dirty looking rooftop.
It can be mistaken for soot, dirt or tree droppings,
which typically produce only localized discoloration.
It's caused by the growth of air-borne algae which deposits
on your roof.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Discoloration of
roofs caused by fungus or algae is difficult to remove,
but may be lightened by spraying a diluted solution
of chlorine bleach, trisodium phosphate, and water onto
the roof.
BUCKLING
CAUSES:
- Improperly applied felt
- Wrinkled underlayment
- Roof deck movement
- Spacers not used in between roof deck boards
- Poor roof ventilation
RECOMMENDATIONS: Allow moisture to escape the
Roofing System. Once the Roofing System reaches the
proper moisture content, the roof should lay flat and
the buckling problem should not return. Remove the shingles
that are affected. Cut the wrinkle in the felt and replace
the shingles.
