The roof is the border between your house and the sky. If it starts leaking, the elements could come in, so It’s really important that you make sure your roof isn’t.
Here’s a list of things that could happen if your roof starts leaking and you don’t do something about it.
Damage to attics and ceilings.
The first thing to go will be what’s next to the border of your house and the sky — the attic and the ceiling. Water could begin to leak to whatever belongings you have stored in the attic, or dripping down onto whatever is below that ceiling. Additionally, a leaky roof could lead to mold. Look out for discoloring, bubbling, or peeling paint; damaged lights and fans; random drips and puddles.
Growth of mold and mildew
It can take a long time to develop, but the growth of mold and mildew can turn your house against you. Mold and mildew can release tiny spores into the air of your home that may lead to nasal congestion, nasal inflammation, asthma, allergies, and rhinitis. Never try to remove mold yourself. Seek the help of a professional. High utility bills. Your energy bill may skyrocket because a leaky roof will damage the insulation of your home and lead to ineffective insulation.
Structural deterioration
One of the biggest ones, this could lead to rotting wood, bad foundations, or parts of your home losing strength— all of these factors potentially leading to the collapse of your home.
