Roof Leaks – Hidden Dangers

Residential and commercial buildings have a common structure that keeps them from the destructive energy of rain and ice. Roofs are capable of keeping rain from entering property, but over time extreme conditions of cold and hot weather will slowly diminish integrity.

When water begins to slowly get past the roof it enters the attic and other closely related wood substrates. Often the damage is stealthy and unnoticed for months allowing for mold growth and spread throughout the property. Human health can be affected with noticeable signs of itchy eyes, sneezing, headaches and sinus conditions being experienced by occupants.

Sometimes the damage will manifest with water dripping from a ceiling, noticeable wet walls, wet carpet, water pooling on hard flooring and water stains on surfaces. In extreme cases water gets into electrical receptacles and switches can bring additional dangers. An electrician must always evaluate the electrical systems after flood damage to make sure no fire hazards exist.
