What Causes Roof Leaks?

Every year rainwater causes millions of dollars in damage to homes throughout the country. Your roof is designed to divert hundreds of gallons of water away from home to keep you and your family dry during storms. If any part of your roofing system is damaged, it can create an avenue for water to enter your home. Whether you’re a new homeowner or have lived in your home for decades, roof trouble can occur at nearly any moment. If you notice any of the following issues with your roof, you may already have water in your attic:

  • Old Roofs – Depending on the quality of installation and the type of material used, the lifespan of your roof can vary. However, if your roof is beginning to reach the end of its life, it’s more susceptible to water damage especially if it hasn’t received regular maintenance.

 

  • Damaged Flashing – Flashing is installed around chimneys, skylights, and along any exterior walls extending above the roof line. Flashing provides additional protection against rain along the seams of your roof. Damaged flashing allows water to penetrate the seam leading to leaks in your home.
  • Damaged Roofs – Missing and loose or broken shingles and pooling water are all signs that your roof or sub-roof needs to be replaced. Your roof is an entire water protection system. When a single element of that roof is damaged, replacement or repair is necessary.
  • Moss Growth – Some homeowners may not think the moss growing on their roof is anything to concern themselves with. However, moss roots will extend under the shingles, allowing water to reach the sub-roof below. Moss should be removed from your roof by a professional along with regular inspections.

What Are the Signs I Have Roof Damage?

Once your roof has deteriorated to the point water is entering your home, it’s critical that you act fast to prevent extensive damage. Once the water has entered your attic, it creates an ideal condition for mould to thrive. Mould can quickly spread throughout your attic leading to major health complications. If you store valuables in your attic, such as important documents and memorabilia, they are also at risk of being damaged or destroyed. Be aware of the following signs that water has entered your home through the roof:

  • Water Spotting – Many homeowners are familiar with water spots. Water leaks onto your ceiling and creates a yellow or greyish ring. It may or may not be wet to the touch.
  • Dripping – During heavy rainstorms, you may hear dripping coming from the attic as the water leaks through the roof. Water should never enter your home, regardless of the severity of the storm.
  • Musty Smell – A musty smell is typically caused by an excessive amount of moisture. If there’s a musty smell in your attic, it may be due to a roof leak or the presence of mould.
