Rain & Water Damage

Alpharetta Roof Leak Repair

Water damage from rain is the problem behind most roof issues. Missing shingles, lighting, fallen trees, improper installation, blocked gutters, flashing deterioration or a roof that needs replacement — any of those become bigger issues as soon as it rains. Leaks become problems, affecting the attic, rusting nails, soaking into insulation, getting into electrical, rotting out soffits, fascia, plywood decking, and other wood.

The amount of water seeping in may vary, so you may never notice the effects of it on the ceiling. But any penetration in flashing or shingle imperfection can allow water through. A small leak will allow enough moisture to be present in the attic space that it creates a problem, though it may start slowly. If a lot of water is leaking in at once, the most likely problem is with damaged flashing, since it covers areas where water could otherwise easily get in such as joints between portions of roofing, vents and around skylights.

If water sits in the attic space for any period of time, aside from rotting boards, mold and mildew can flourish in that environment, and this can cause serious health issues within your home because of the poor air quality and allergens.
