Leaking Roofs Can Cause Headaches for Homeowners!

11/12/2019 (Permalink)

Leaking roofs can cause homeowners' headaches and heartache if they are not repaired properly. So, don't put off the necessary repairs that will keep your family safe. A leaking roof can damage a home's framing and comprise the insulation, which may promote mold growth or potentially create a fire hazard in the long term.
After rainy weather, water can invade your home through the roof, dripping down on the homes' structural elements. If not attended to over time, the wood can deteriorate, causing the roof to sag, the walls to bow, or floors to become waterlogged. The challenge is that even small leaks over time can have the same impact and large leaks. All leaks can be expensive if you put them off. And there are reasons why:
Water leaks can impact the insulation of your home and lessen its effectiveness. Potentially, causing an increase in your utility bills
Damp insulation may be a breeding ground for mold leading to a host of issues.
When water leaks come in contact with electrical wiring, it may create an open circuit which could lead to a house fire
Leaks may cause damage to personal property, especially the precious relics of the past.
