Common Causes of Shingles Buckling
You might be wondering about what causes shingles to buckle, and there are a few possible causes.
Moisture
Moisture under shingles is the most common cause of shingles buckling. Roof deck moisture and underlayment moisture can weaken shingles causing them to buckle.
Improper Installation
Hiring a reputable roofing company is absolutely essential because a small mistake by roofers can lead to buckling shingles and other problems. If shingles are stored improperly prior to installation, shingles being installed over foreign debris, or improper spacing are all contractor errors that can cause problems with your roof.
Extreme Weather
In extremely cold or extremely hot temperatures, shingles may expand and contract. When that happens, it can lead to buckling.
No matter what caused your roof’s shingles to buckle, it’s important to take steps to correct them right away. If you don’t, you leave your home susceptible to issues such as mold and interior leaks.
In most cases, roof repair contractors will be able to replace only the problematic shingles and, perhaps, the shingles immediately surrounding them. This isn’t typically a costly repair, but it’s one that can save you from needing to replace your entire roof prematurely.
