Since a roof is one of the most important components of any home or building, finding damage can place a lot of stress on the property owner. While most of the time damage can easily be spotted, other times it can be difficult to truly locate the source of the problem, making it even more difficult to determine what kinds of repairs are necessary.

Do you suspect that there's damage on your roof? The following are 5 of the most common roof problems to help you figure out where the damage lies:

1. Fascia: The front board along your roof, known as the fascia, can easily be damaged by moisture.
2. Soffit: Small animals such as birds and insects often find the wood beneath the roof overhang to be a popular resting place. Their overwhelming presence can lead to cracks, holes and rotting of the soffit.
3. Flashing: The flashing, which is the material used around vents and pipes, is very susceptible to water leaks and damage in general.
4. Gutters: Since water and debris can easily build up in your gutters, mold and mildew often develops under the roof.
5. Shingles: When shingles become discolored, start to curl, or are missing, the wood underneath is likely to rot or start to develop holes.
