Why It’s Important to Fix Roof Leaks

When you have just a small leak in your roof, it can be easy to ignore. That is until you begin to see the effects of a leaky roof within your living space. Peak Roofing & Construction understands that you have a busy life. Between work and time with your family, it can be hard to fit in time to meet with a roofing contractor. However, it is crucial that you address roof leaks before they become massive roofing disasters. Here are just a few reasons why.

Water Damage Is Costly, and Roof Repair Is Affordable

Water damage can wreak complete havoc on your home. When water seeps into the supporting wood of your roof, it can cause it to bloat, bend, and lose its supportive qualities. This can cause your entire roof to collapse. When you catch a roof leak early, it may only require a small surface repair. Compared with the massive cost of a roof rebuild, the financial savings of leak repair are extensive.

Your Family’s Health Is at Stake

A leaking roof not only will cause structural damage to your home, but it can also be a health hazard. The heat that rises in your roof combined with the moisture from a leak is the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow. While most mold will only cause cold-like symptoms like sneezing or coughing, black mold can cause serious respiratory problems. In fact, black mold can have long-lasting and deadly health consequences for young children, the elderly, or those with compromised immune systems.

As you can see, it is important that you fix roof leaks as soon as they are found. If you suspect you may have a leak in your home, contact Peak Roofing & Construction.
