Roof rain damage is an unpleasant occurrence that may cause
a lot of discomfort and also be quite expensive. In the case of severe weather
conditions, any roof is more or less vulnerable, and damage may occur in various
forms.
Damaged shingles or
cracked tiles
When a storm struck an area and is accompanied by wind,
heavy rain fall and hail, tiles may crack and shingles may be pulled off,
leaving the interior exposed to water damage. This is why calling licensed Barrington roofing contractors to inspect your roof after a severe storm is mandatory, if you care about your
comfort and safety.
Moisture problems
Roof rain damage is not always obvious, so if you ignore
your roof for a long time, undetected water infiltrations will weaken its
structure, alter the insulation, reduce the energy-efficiency and cause mold
formation that may penetrate walls, furniture and carpets, creating an
unhealthy living environment.
Other less-than-obvious signs that may indicate roof rain
damage include damp drywall around light
fixtures, bubbling paint around
electrical outlets, or the faint
sound of a dripping in the bathroom vent.
Regardless the type of roof damage you get after a storm, it
is important to detect it as soon as possible and fix it, to prevent further
damage. A roof leak is an urgent situation, so do not postpone dealing with it.
