Whether you have an old roof or a new roof, normal wear and tear is unavoidable. There will be windstorms, rainstorms, ice storms and thunderstorms. But when you have a roof leak, it is something that should be seen as serious.
If a roof leak repair is delayed for any length of time, water intrusion can deplete your home’s insulation significantly and your home will lose hot and cool air, causing your energy bills to increase.
One of the most serious consequences of a leaking roof is mold and mildew growth. Wet insulation can become a serious health risk. When leaks are not attended to promptly, mold and bacteria will start to grow in the insulation. This can lead to severely poor air quality and can create major health risks. The longer wet insulation is left alone, the more bacteria grows the greater risks to your health and home.
The lesson to take away from this blog is:
Leaks are critical.
ACT FAST when you notice a leak.
Have a professional detect the source of your leak and evaluate the damage and repairs you will need.
