Roofing Leak Repair
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home. While designed to withstand the elements, it is not indestructible. Physical damage, the elements of Asheville, and time can all lead to issues that result in leaks. At the first sign of water, it’s time to call for roof leak repairs.
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
- Broken or missing shingles
- Cracked flashing
- Cracked boot venting
- Improper sealing of the valleys
- Clogged gutters
- Time
How To Spot A Roof Leak
Call Pisgah Roofing & Restoration For A Professional Roof Inspection
Ceiling Water 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.
Dripping
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.
Moisture in the Attic
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.
Odors in Your Home
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.
Roof Damage
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.
