Ways a Leaking Roof Can Cause Problems for Your Home
Water damage is a serious concern, so if your roof is leaking then you need to call a qualified roofing company to repair it as soon as possible. KangaRoof, formerly Feller Roofing, is one of the best roofers in our local area. We are a GAF Master Elite™ contractor, a designation that puts us in the top 3% of all roofers in North America.
Today we’ll discuss some of the unexpected dangers of a leaky roof.
- Increased Utility Bills – A leaking roof will damage your attic insulation and make it less effective. If this leak is left unattended, then chronic water intrusion will deplete the insulation. This will lead to cool and hot air escaping your home, making it harder for your utilities to make you comfortable. This also leads to increased energy consumption and higher energy bills.
- Roof Structure Damage – Water from a leaking roof can damage your ceiling joists, roof rafters, and even fascia boards and exterior trim. A leak can cause wood to weaken and deteriorate, leading to costly structural repairs. If you see a sign of a leaking roof, then you need to call us for a roof repair immediately. We can fix your roof and prevent any costly water damage from happening.
- Mold Growth – A chronically leaking roof can lead to mold spreading throughout your home’s structure. Mold can attack your floor and wall coverings, ceiling tiles, and wood framing. Mold and mildew can aggravate nasal congestion, asthma, inflammation, and rhinitis. Our roof repair team can prevent this from happening by tracking down the source of the leak and fixing the issue.
