10 Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Repair

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against rain, wind, heat, and hail. When it starts to fail, the damage can spread quickly — leading to leaks, structural issues, and costly repairs. Knowing the warning signs early can save you time, money, and stress.

If you live in Greater Omaha, Nebraska, and notice any of these common roofing issues, it’s time to call AGR Roofing – your trusted local roofing experts – for a professional inspection and repair.

1. Missing or Broken Shingles

Shingles protect your roof deck from moisture and sun damage. When they’re missing or cracked, the underlying wood is exposed to rain and wind. Even a few damaged shingles can lead to leaks or rot. After storms, check your yard or gutters for fallen shingles — it’s one of the first signs of roof damage.

2. Water Leaks Inside Your Home

Water stains, peeling paint, or damp spots on your ceiling or walls mean trouble. These are clear signs of roof leaks that can lead to mold growth, insulation damage, and even electrical hazards. AGR Roofing’s team can pinpoint the source and fix it before it worsens.

3. A Sagging Roof Deck

A sagging or uneven roofline often signals structural damage caused by trapped moisture or decaying wood. This is not an issue to wait on – call AGR Roofing right away for an inspection before the problem spreads.

4. Granules in Your Gutters

Do you see black or sandy debris in your gutters or at the base of your downspouts? Those are granules from aging asphalt shingles. Once these protective granules wear off, shingles become brittle and prone to cracking. Excessive granule loss usually means your roof is nearing the end of its life.

5. Daylight in the Attic

Take a quick look in your attic during the day. If you can see sunlight streaming through the roof boards, water can get in too. Even small gaps can allow leaks and heat loss. AGR Roofing can seal those weak points before they cause interior damage.

6. Moss or Algae Growth

Nebraska’s humid summers can cause moss and algae to grow on shaded sections of your roof. While it might look harmless, it traps moisture that can weaken shingles and decking. Regular roof cleaning and maintenance from AGR Roofing can prevent premature deterioration.

7. Curling or Buckling Shingles

Shingles that curl, cup, or buckle are often a sign of age or poor attic ventilation. This compromises your roof’s ability to shed water effectively. If you notice widespread curling, your roof may be due for replacement.

8. Rising Energy Bills

If your energy costs are climbing, your roof could be to blame. Poor ventilation or insulation caused by roof damage allows hot or cold air to escape, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. AGR Roofing can help identify and fix these energy-draining problems.

9. Roof Debris After a Storm

Omaha’s hailstorms and high winds can cause serious – and sometimes hidden – roof damage. After a storm, check for shingle fragments or flashing on the ground. Even if your roof looks intact from below, it’s smart to schedule a storm damage inspection with AGR Roofing.

10. A Roof Over 20 Years Old

Most roofs in Nebraska last about 20–25 years depending on the material and weather exposure. If your roof is over two decades old, it may be time to consider a replacement. AGR Roofing offers honest assessments and expert recommendations to protect your investment.
