Water underneath singles and other roofing materials can cause extensive damage to your roof that will eventually filter down into your home and cause extra damage there as well. Water damage to you roof can lead to moisture collection on a roof deck or other areas and cause roof structures to rot. In addition, the extra moisture may encourage moss and algae growth in other areas of you house, including ceilings, walls, electrical systems, and insulation.
Rain can invade your roof in any number of ways. Exposed roof nails, previous wind damage, hail damage, and flashing deterioration all provide avenues for rain and water to seep into your roofing materials. While roof flashing is designed to keep wind-driven rain and moisture from penetrating seams on your roof, any small flaw or deterioration of flashing will allow water to leak into your house.
Left unchecked rain, or water can damage the frame of your house and cause harmful mold, mildew, and ultimately rotter-wood problems. If you think your roof might have sustained damage, you should have your roof thoroughly inspected for new roof warning signs by one of our expert roofing inspectors at Bella Roofing before added damage occurs in your home .
