Signs Your Slate Roof Requires Repair

While slate roofs can last for over 150 years, it is important to keep up with maintenance and perform repairs if you want your roof to last. The lifespan of a slate roof can be reduced to 50 years if it is not properly taken care of. If you are concerned about the condition of your slate roof, our professionals would be happy to examine it for you. In the meantime, look out for signs that indicate your roof may have a problem. If you observe any of these issues, we suggest you get in touch with Young Slate Roofing for slate roof repair.


  • Roof Leaks: Any damp areas in your attic or on your ceiling should be dealt with by calling a roofing professional. Especially if the dampness appears after it rains, your roof may be the culprit.
  • Missing Shingles: One of the most obvious indicators that your slate roof will need to be repaired is missing shingles. When shingles are missing, your roof is not getting the protection it needs.
  • Visibly Damaged Shingles: Slate shingles that are chipping, crumbling, or have holes indicate that your roof should have maintenance done.
  • Discolored Shingles: While slate roofs may have some variation in color due to the stone, if you notice a discolored area, it should be examined by a professional.
  • Moss Growth: Moss growing on any type of roofing material is usually not a good sign. However, if moss is cleaned soon enough, damage may be prevented.

HOW OFTEN YOU SHOULD REPAIR YOUR SLATE ROOF

All roofs require constant care to stay in peak condition. When a roof has an issue, it can cause extensive damage to your property. The best thing that one can do is fix an issue before it becomes a problem. So, how often should you perform maintenance and repairs for slate roofs? For all roofs, maintenance and repair work should be done annually. This will catch any concerns early and prevent them from becoming larger issues. Additionally, you should inspect your roof for damage after any major storm, especially ones that cause tree branches to fall, it hails, or there are strong winds. These types of storm systems can damage roof components. So, to summarize, you should inspect and repair your roof annually and perform repairs as needed. It is also recommended that you inspect your roof after strong storms.
