Asphalt Shingle Blisters: Causes and Solutions

See those pimple-like protrusions on your asphalt shingles? Those are called blisters, and they are a fairly common issue in this type of roofing system. But what exactly can cause them, and how do you deal with it? 

Trapped Moisture

There are cases where moisture becomes trapped within the asphalt shingles during the manufacturing process. Following their installation, the shingles get exposed to the heat of the sun. This causes the trapped moisture to heat up, rising to the surface of the material and creating blisters as it does.

You can prevent this issue by working with a roofer who can offer some of the highest quality residential roofing systems available today. Northeast Gutters and Remodeling, for instance, is a factory-certified GAF roofing company. This allows you access to tough and well-made asphalt shingles that can deliver reliable and long-lasting weather performance. Apart from that, our certification ensures that your asphalt shingle roofing will be installed to stringent quality specifications. 

Poor Attic Ventilation

It’s not just shingle manufacturing defects you should be wary about when it comes to your roofing. When your attic has insufficient ventilation, excess heat and moisture will build up inside the space. Once the roof is hot enough, it will start baking the shingles overhead, causing them to blister.

Blistered asphalt shingles make the roof more susceptible to leaks, which is why it’s important to schedule regular inspections with a trusted local roofer like Northeast Gutters and Remodeling. Our comprehensive roof checkups cover every vital component of your roofing system, including the attic ventilation. Should we discover any issues in this particular area, you can count on us to perform the necessary and most effective solution.
