Any roof leak is serious by nature. Tiny damp spots in the attic may not scare you, but they represent the specter of water intrusion and many other perils on the horizon.
If you think the worst that could come out of ordinary roof leaks is the danger of slips and falls, you’d be surprised how big of a detriment they can be. Goodrich Roofing shares their four significant consequences and the ways we can help protect your New Mexico roofing:
Structural Failure
Seemingly negligible, leakage to your roofing system could compromise its overall structural integrity. Small drips could seep into your attic, run along the underside of your roof deck, or infiltrate the framing. Ultimately, any wood surface would deteriorate with rot and lose its strength. It could lead to sagging, which presents a host of hazards altogether.
With or without obvious red flags, keeping an active maintenance plan is key to identify signs of roof leakage. Considering damage may only become apparent after years of water exposure, we can help you save on expenses by repairing your roofing in New Mexico immediately.
Insulation Damage
Water and insulation don’t mix. Any insulation material has to remain dry to preserve its efficacy. Small amounts of rain and snowmelt would suffice to reduce the insulating value of your attic to dangerous lows. Wasted energy is only one of the many negative effects of poor attic insulation.
Consult Goodrich Roofing to inspect your roof when you notice a large spike on your utility bills. In addition, we can provide roofing services in case of storm damage.
Electrical Issues
Take note that water leakage can lead to different hazards. When water droplets touch exposed electrical wiring, the contact could result into combustion one way or another. In addition, electrically charged water causes shock.
Water leakage to any type of roofing can be perilous. It pays to deal with every case of leak with caution and a sense of urgency to prevent the situation from worsening. This way, you can make the most of your roofing in New Mexico.
