A leaky roof occurs when water penetrates through the roofing material, leading to moisture inside a building. This can happen due to various reasons, such as damaged shingles, worn-out flashing, or clogged gutters. Over time, leaks can cause significant damage to the structure and interior, including mold growth and wood rot. To prevent a leaky roof, regular maintenance is essential. Homeowners should inspect their roofs for signs of wear and tear, clean gutters to ensure proper drainage, and address any issues promptly. Hiring a professional roofer can help identify potential problems before they escalate into costly repairs.
