Top 3 Reasons Your Roof Might Be Leaking
2/21/2019 (Permalink)
Roofs are often susceptible to water damage that can lead to structure and mold issues if not addressed. There are several ways water can infiltrate building materials surrounding a roof and the top 3 are:
- Age- Roofing material deteriorate with age and becomes less effective at keeping out water.
- Debris- Building of debris such as twigs,leaves or pines needles can trap water against the roof and allow it to seep in by capillary action. Maintenance of roof cleaning is recommended.
- Missing Shingles- Strong winds can rip shingles from the roof.
Most of the issues relating to a roof leak can be avoided by doing routine inspections of the attic/roof area on a regular basis.
