Blisters are a common problem with asphalt shingles. There are two main reasons why asphalt shingles blister: trapped moisture in the shingles and poor ventilation in the attic.
Here are the causes and the solutions of this problem.
On extremely rare occasions, moisture can get trapped inside the shingles during the manufacturing process. If asphalt shingles on a roof have trapped moisture, they become more prone to blistering. This is because as the sun beats down on the roof, the moisture within the shingles heat up as well, causing bubble-like marks to rise up and form on the shingles.
An attic that is not adequately ventilated can get too hot for asphalt shingles. If the heat that naturally rises from the living areas of the home and into the attic has nowhere to go, it will affect the structural components of the residential roofing, including the asphalt shingles, causing them to blister.
If the asphalt shingles on your roof are blistering, it is important to monitor and prevent the blisters from popping. Here are some tips:
