Signs Your Roof Leak Is Serious

Water Appears Far from its Original Source

If the leak has spread through the roof and attic, far from where it began, you have a serious problem. Traveling leaks mean expensive water damage repairs, and it’s a sign that the leak may have been active for a long time.

Algae and Mould Are Growing Near the Leak

When you see algae growing on the roof, it’s clear you have a moisture problem. Mould is even more concerning, as it could lead to health problems and roof decay. This extent of this type of leak could mean it’s time for a replacement and extra ventilation and moisture protection to prevent the problem from happening again.

You See Stains on the Ceiling

By the time the roof leak has allowed water to stain your plaster ceilings, it’s time to call a contractor and talk to your insurance company. Water damage is expensive; when you see evidence of it inside your home, don’t delay, call the Roof Doctor.

The Roof Ridge Is Sagging

When the wear and tear on a roof has caused the ridge line to begin sagging, that’s when you know you need immediate replacement. Water leads to mould and rot, and when it has gained a foothold in the rafters and the roof ridge, you have a structural problem.
