Building off our 5 summer home maintenance tips and getting your roof inspected, another aspect of roof maintenance you should be aware of is soft spots.

Soft spots on your roof can form when a layer underneath the shingles gets wet due to a gap between some shingles. Most roofs have a layer of plywood underneath roofing tiles or shingles. From the natural elements that a roof endures all year long, plywood can weaken in these overexposed spots. One way that you can notice a soft spot is if there is a dip in your roof. If you see this, you should reach out to a professional ASAP.

Very often when you find or see a soft spot on your roof, there will be more that have gone unnoticed. The Rhode Island Slate Roofing team has years of experience with soft spots on roofs. We will inspect the quality of your whole roof to come up with the best repair process.

If caught early, it can be fixed quickly. If you ignore the soft spot on your roof, it can eventually turn into a huge leaking issue.
