MISSING GRANULES

CAUSES
Granules are the small sand like pebbles that cover the exterior of a roofing shingle. These granules can become loose and will wash away off the roof into your gutter system.

Normally a certain number of granules will be loose, especially after application. These granules are called "riders," and are a normal result of the manufacturing process. Granule loss does not affect the service life of the shingles unless granules can be seen missing on the surface of the shingles, thus exposing the asphalt or Fiberglas® mat.

RECOMMENDATIONS
If you have Granule loss and can see the asphalt or Fiberglas® mat the shingles will need to be removed and replaced from the infected area. However, if you have Granule loss in one area it is likelier to occur in other places as well. Usually a whole new roof will be required.

For a more permanent solution, re-roof with Owens Corning 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.
