One day, you are sitting at home and enjoying the sound of rain outside, when suddenly you notice a patch of dampness on your ceiling – or worse, water pouring through your roof. It is a disaster that we at Pinnacle Roof and Build have seen many times. A leaking roof is not just annoying – it is a health hazard and detrimental to your property value. A leaking roof will severely weaken your masonry and do untold damage to your walls, insulation, and foundations when left in disrepair. Once that water leaks into your building materials, the real nightmare begins inside your home.
Mould
When your roof is leaking, mould will begin to formulate and build. Black mould will release harmful spores into the breathable air throughout your home.
Once these spores are loose in the air, those family members suffering allergies or respiratory conditions will suffer a great deal. It is best to avoid that kind of health hazard by having roofing leaks fixed as soon as you detect issues, stopping this mould from growing.
Mould can be extremely hard to clear once it starts in your ceiling. It cannot be simply painted over, you call a roofing company to fix the cause of the problem.
Further Storm Damage
If you are experiencing a leak in a small rainfall, you can only imagine what damage will be when the more serious storms take effect. Manchester is known for some of the worst storms in the UK throughout the Winter months, leading to high winds in February and March that will cause deep problems.
Loose slates from water damage will slide off your roof and pose a danger to those below, whilst the weakened structural integrity of your damp roof can cause a collapse with much heavier rainfall and storm activity. Calling a roof company is not just fixing a leak – it protects your home and lives from potential disaster.
