4 Serious Issues from Having a Leaky Roof in Florida

January 29, 2015 by Jesse Curry

A leak is a common roofing issue that many property owners often ignore until it has started to cause major problems. Your roof may have a long service life, but if you don’t fix leaks immediately, they can significantly shorten the roof’s life cycle.

Our roofing contractors in Sarasota FL prepared a list of serious issues you may have to face when you have a leaky roof:

Compromised Roof Integrity

Exposure to water may cause roofing parts made of wood to decay. When the rafters, joists, and eaves start to rot, they become weak, which can compromise the structural integrity of the roof.

Mold and Mildew Growth

Mold and mildew grow in moist areas. When leaks reach the attic, mold and mildew may thrive without your knowledge. They can spread throughout the house through your vents. Exposure to mold spores may cause a range of health issues, including skin irritation, coughing, stuffy nose, and watery eyes.

Drywall Fatigue

Drywall fatigue is a serious long-term effect of leaks. Initially, when drywall gets wet, it will absorb moisture. Once it becomes saturated, it will start to deteriorate and lose cohesion. Your ceiling or wall may crumble and put your family in danger.

Electrical Hazard

This is another long-term serious effect of a leaky roof. When your electrical wiring is exposed to water, it’s definitely not good news. Water can also seep through metal junction boxes with uncovered wires, putting anyone who touches it at risk of electrical shock.

Avoid headaches and costly roofing works. Make it a point to have your roof inspected by reliable roofing contractors Sarasota homeowners trust, such as Roofing by Curry.
