It’s sometimes hard to know when it’s time to do regular maintenace. This is especially true if you’re attempting to repair something you can’t actually see, like roofing felt. So how can you tell when this material needs maintenance?

One thing to look for is moisture spots on the ceiling. This can be a clear sign that water is getting through your roof. Since the roofing felt is what typically prevents this, leaking can indicate that the felt needs to be repaired.

Another thing you can look for is blatant color changes on the exterior of your roof. This could also indicate that some roofing felt maintenance is going to be necessary since the color change could be due to trapped moisture.

Keeping an eye on your roof and your ceilings will help you know when to repair your roofing felt to keep it and your home in good working order.
