Signs of Moisture-Related Roofing Damage

Not sure if you need storm damage repair? To help you figure things out, Lifestyle Home Improvement Roofing and Construction shares a list of some of the signs you should look for:

Visible Leaks

If you spot active leaks shortly after a storm hit your area, you most definitely have roofing damage. The good news is, you’re likely looking at impact damage from sharp debris. This typically means the damage, so far, is isolated to the point of impact, which is a good thing. Addressing the issue as soon as possible can help you prevent the damage from spreading

Sagging Drywall

Once moisture gets through your roofing system, it can spread quickly to other areas in your home, posing a serious threat to absorbent materials like wood and drywall. If you observe that your ceiling drywall has started to sag, call a professional right away to schedule roofing inspections! Drywall may saturate slowly so decay is not immediately obvious, but saturated ceiling drywall poses a high risk of collapse if left unattended.

Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew thrive where there’s an abundance of moisture and humidity. They typically manifest as brown or black stains on your walls. The growth is not just unsightly but can also lead to respiratory issues. If you spot this issue, contact a trusted roofer as soon as possible to conduct an inspection and provide the appropriate solution.
