The Life Cycle of Your Roof

Cracking Through Reinforcement
Depending upon the style of shingle, the normal weathering characteristics described earlier may be a sign of more serious problems. For example, cracks across a typical three-tab shingle may be a sign of a weak reinforcement (see Figure 1). This type of cracking threatens the waterproofing integrity of the roof and needs to be addressed immediately.

For the appliqué-style shingle, on the other hand, cracks that are restricted to the unreinforced decorative appliqué are the result of normal weathering and do not compromise the long-term performance of the roof system.

 

 Material Defects
Cracking through the reinforcement and bald shingles are serious defects

Granule Loss Exposing Asphalt
Large areas of granule loss that expose the underlying asphalt place the shingle at risk of premature failure because UV rays can now get to the asphalt layer.

In situations in which hail has knocked off large areas of granules, you can expect the life of your shingles to be appreciably reduced due to the effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Shingles with open blisters in which the asphalt becomes visible are also at greater risk for premature failure.
