BLISTERING

CAUSES
Blistering is caused by moisture in the shingle. Either the shingle is breaking down and not performing the way it should or there may have been moisture trapped in the shingle during the manufacturing process.

Bad ventilation, leaking and other common moisture infiltration can cause blistering as well. In essence the moisture has made its way into one of the layers of the shingle and the shingles are rotting and decaying from the inside out. These small areas can eventually grow to larger areas called rotting.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Replace the shingles in areas that have blisters with new shingles. If you have larger areas in the roof that has blistering chances are that there are more areas rotting that you can not see yet. In such a case it is time to consider replacing your entire roof. If your area or home is susceptible to moisture the you will want to use a Fiberglas Mat shingle as opposed to an organic. Fiberglas Mat will not rot in this way.

You will want to contact the manufacture of the roof shingles that are blistering. This may fall under your manufactures warranty. If so, the manufacturer may owe you an entirely new roof.

For a more permanent solution, re-roof with Owens Corning Fiberglas Mat Shingles. They are specifically designed to withstand North and south Carolina moisture conditions for extended periods of time and are backed by our strongest product warranties* available to homeowners.

For the average homeowner this process can be difficult and dangerous to do on their own. Patton General Contracting* is a certified installer of Owens Corning roof products as well as RoofLock - a product designed to clean and protect your roof from this type of issue.
