Hidden Damages Of Roof Leaks

Leaks in your roof do more than just let water inside your home. You may be faced with significant damage from a roof leak if you let the issue go untreated long enough.

Mold

Water that enters your home through a roof leak can lead to mold growth. Over time, mold multiplies. It can also get into your HVAC system and spread throughout your home, contaminating the air you breathe.

Fire Hazard

If you have wiring in your attic, dripping water can cause electrical shorts. Shorts create sparks, which can lead to a fire.

Damaged Lights

As water leaks into your home, it drips on your ceilings first. If you have light fixtures or fans attached to your ceiling, they become damaged and can be expensive to replace.

Structural Damage

The more water that gets into your home over time, the weaker rafters, joists, and other structural components become.

Causes of Roof Leaks

Roof leaks occur as a result of several different issues, including:

Broken or missing shingles	Improper sealing of the valleys
Cracked flashing	Clogged gutters
Cracked boot venting	Time

Roof Damage

One of the easiest ways to spot a leak in your roof is the appearance of ceiling water damage, which appears as a dark stain. Without repairs, the stain may spread, and you may begin to notice the ceiling sag.

In some instances, water may drip from your ceiling, pointing toward a leak in your roof. Even if the drips are only occasional, you should still call a roofing professional for an inspection.

In some instances, attic moisture occurs as a result of improper ventilation. In other cases, you have a roof leak. If you notice that your attic is becoming damp, you should have the issue investigated right away.

Over time, water in your home can lead to mold and mildew growth. Even if you can’t see it, you may notice a musty or unpleasant odor that you can’t seem to place. Those with allergies or asthma may also begin having symptoms, such as watery eyes, increased sneezing, and difficulty breathing.

Damage such as broken or missing shingles, buckled shingles, shingle debris in your gutters, roof rot, cracks, and other issues can all contribute to leaks. To help spot these signs and get the repairs you need quickly, you should inspect your roof regularly.
