Why Your Roof Could Start Failing After Just 7 Years (And How Roof Savers® Can Help)

Many homeowners trust that their asphalt shingle roof will last for decades—sometimes up to 30 years. However, the reality is that modern roofs often do not last nearly as long as expected. If your roof is approaching its seventh year, you could be facing problems much sooner than you ever imagined. Here’s why this is happening and how Roof Savers® can help you avoid costly repairs and replacement.

The Hidden Problem: Reduced Asphalt Content

Over the past two decades, changes in manufacturing have quietly impacted the quality of asphalt shingles. Manufacturers have reduced the asphalt content in shingles by as much as 40%. This reduction may not be visible, but it has a significant effect on the material’s durability. Asphalt is what gives shingles their flexibility and ability to withstand the elements. With less asphalt, shingles become more prone to oil depletion, brittleness, and cracking. As a result, shingles that were once expected to last for decades may now start to break down in as little as seven years.

What Early Roof Failure Means for Homeowners

If you have a roof that is seven years old or more, you may already be at risk. Even if there are no visible signs of damage, the underlying materials could be weakening. Early roof failure can lead to a number of problems, including leaks, water damage, and the need for unexpected repairs. In some cases, homeowners are forced to replace their entire roof far earlier than they had planned. This can be a major financial burden, especially when the expense comes as a surprise.
