When it rains, the constant pitter-patter on your roof might be a source of annoyance. Now, a roof leak – that’s a much bigger headache. Don’t delay roof repair in Gahanna, Ohio, if your roof is leaking. Neglecting repair can cause serious problems for your home. Here are three major types of damage a roof leak can cause.
Structural Issues
Leaks can allow water to soak and weaken the wood in rafters, ceiling joists, wall framing, fascia boards and even exterior trim. Waterlogged boards may lead to serious structural problems and expensive repairs that demand the expertise of a contractor.
Mold Issues
Roof leaks provide the constant moisture and dampness that mold loves, leading to mold growth in decking, attics and ceilings. Not only is mold growth difficult to get rid of, it also can pose serious health risks for a home’s occupants, especially for those with respiratory issues.
Insulation Issues
High energy bills are another consequence of a leaky roof. When attic insulation becomes saturated with water, it loses its insulating value. As a result, your home is not protected from the loss of heated and conditioned air, leading to higher utility costs.
