Authentic Charm. Keeping a (Good) Roof Over Your Head Next to the walls, perhaps nothings more important to a house than the roof. While thats a very basic way of looking at things, a house is really not a house unless it has strong walls and a du- rable roof. Without strong walls there would be nothing to hold up the roof. And without a durable roof, braving the elements gets a lot more difficult. To withstand those elements, which can include heavy rains, lots of snowfall or a host of other natural components, youll need to recognize certain signs that your roof might be on its last leg. To safeguard against potential di- saster, ask yourself the following questions next time you decide to check on your roof. Is outside light being seen through my attic? Contrary to popular belief, light you can see through the attic is not necessarily a sign that you need a new roof. For instance, its perfectly natural for light to get through if you have a shake roof, which is made out of wooden shingles made from split logs. Thats because the individual shakes will swell and seal during wet months. However, if you dont have a shake roof, theres no reason you should be seeing through your roof. Are there signs of leaking? This can be in the attic or in the upstairs rooms if you dont have an attic. Signs can include stained ceiling tiles or drywall (in finished attics or upstairs rooms) or dark spots in the wood. Dark spots are often around vents or chimneys. Is this a current or past problem? Not all signs are indicative of a current problem. For example, if a dark spot on your ceiling is dry and hard, then its an old problem thats already been fixed. However, if a spot is wet and soft, then its a current problem. If you cant reach the spot to see if its wet, try and reach it with a screwdriver or broomstick. If it feels soft to the touch, then you know its a problem that needs addressing. Did an artist sneak into my home and paint shapes on my roof? Many times, stains from leak- ing roofs will look like an artists rendition of an odd shape. If you start seeing dark spots in odd shapes on your roof, then its probably not because Michelangelo snuck in to paint your ceiling. More likely, its the sign of a leaky roof.
