Your roof protects everything beneath it your family, your belongings, and your peace of mind. But like anything else, it’s not immune to wear and tear. Whether your home is new or historic, every Bexley homeowner should know the top roofing issues to watch out for and how to prevent them.
At 614 Hispanic Roofers Acacio, we’ve repaired hundreds of roofs across Bexley, and we’ve seen the same problems pop up again and again. Here’s what you should know to stay ahead of costly repairs and long-term damage.
1️⃣ Leaks Around Flashing
Flashing the thin metal around chimneys, vents, and valleys is a critical line of defense. When it becomes cracked, rusted, or improperly sealed, water can seep in fast.
🚨 Signs:
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Drips in the attic during rain
✅ Prevention:
- Annual roof inspections
- Professional resealing or flashing replacement as needed
2️⃣ Missing or Damaged Shingles
Ohio’s storms, wind, and UV rays can loosen or break shingles over time. Even one missing shingle can lead to a leak.
🚨 Signs:
- Visible bald spots on your roof
- Shingle granules in gutters
- Curling or cracked edges
✅ Prevention:
- Quick shingle replacement after major storms
- Use of high-quality, impact-resistant shingles
3️⃣ Clogged Gutters & Water Backup
When gutters overflow, water backs up under your shingles and causes rot at the roofline. This issue is common in fall and winter in Bexley.
🚨 Signs:
- Overflowing gutters
- Water pooling near your foundation
- Mold or rot near eaves
✅ Prevention:
- Gutter cleaning at least twice a year
- Install gutter guards to reduce debris
4️⃣ Ice Dams in Winter
In colder months, melted snow can refreeze at the edge of your roof, creating ice dams that block water from draining.
🚨 Signs:
- Icicles hanging from gutters
- Water stains inside after a snowstorm
- Unusual roof sagging
✅ Prevention:
- Proper attic insulation and ventilation
- Ice & water shield underlayment installation
5️⃣ Poor Ventilation
Roof ventilation helps regulate attic temperatures. Without it, heat and moisture build up causing premature roof aging and even mold growth.
🚨 Signs:
- Higher energy bills
- Mold in the attic
- Ice dams forming regularly
✅ Prevention:
- Ridge vents, soffit vents, or attic fans
- Regular attic checks for moisture buildup
6️⃣ Delayed Maintenance & Inspections
The most expensive roofing problems? The ones you didn’t know were there. Small issues grow fast so don’t wait.
🚨 Signs:
- You haven’t had a roof inspection in over a year
- Stains, sagging, or unexplained drafts inside
✅ Prevention:
- Schedule annual professional inspections
- Fix minor issues before they become major ones
