Dimensional shingles with lots of moss

  1. 1
    lots of moss

    Moss growing on old shingle roof

    The root system of moss grows up between the shingles. This causes water to wick under the shingles resulting in rusted nails and water penetration into the roof.

    Broken tree limb on roof

    Rotten tree limbs broke and scattered across the roof, causing superficial damage to shingles. At first, I was sure this limb had punctured the shelter, but luckily, it just scraped it up and messed up the tabs on the dimensional shingles. The pictures at the top will show some of the damage.

    roof decking popping up.

    One of the pieces of roof decking has popped up and freed itself from the nails. This has lifted the shingles just enough to let the wind in between the 2 layers, further breaking more shingle seals. The bottom picture shows a rusted nail, so water is getting under the shingles. 

    This is a picture showing the incorrect placement of the shingles.

    This is a picture of worn out shingles that are lifting.

    rain diverter not properly installed

    This rain diverter is flush with the shingles that it’s up against. This can allow water to back under the shingles. It should be installed on an angle shown here as the red line.

    This is a picture of the incorrect angle of water flow.
