If your home has weathered a recent storm, its a good idea to check your yard for loose shingles and any possible damage your roof might have endured. A leaking roof is cause for great concern and repairs shouldn’t be put off to another day. <\/p>

Here’s why:<\/b><\/h2>\n

Weakened structural integrity
<\/b>Even small holes on the surface of your roof have the potential to leak into your home and affect the structural supports. If you leave your leaking roof unattended, the water could seep to your houses framework and threaten greater damage or a complete roof collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mold growth
<\/b>Mold spreads quickly in a moisture-rich environment and can cause internal wooden structures to rot. If its not taken care of right away, it could spread into your house air system and cause serious health issues, especially for those with respiratory problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Damaged electrical wiring
<\/b>A leaking roof might also affect your electrical wiring. If the leak spreads, the water could spread through the ceiling and walls and damage the internal electrical wiring within. Not only is fixing damaged wiring a hefty expense, it can also be a fire hazard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Energy loss
<\/b>A leaking roof could also affect your energy bills. If there is a leak in your roof, the insulation might become water-logged, making it difficult for your home to retain heat in the colder months, or let cold air escape during warmer months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further repairs
<\/b>You should always try and fix a leaking roof as fast as possible. Giving a leak the chance to spread through your house might cause further damage to its framework, walls, and ceilings. The damage to your roof will get worse and leave you with many more costly repairs in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n
