When was the last time you had your roof inspected? Minor damage can go unnoticed for months or years, all the while creating bigger problems. The roof is one of the most neglected areas of our home when it comes to regular checks and preventative maintenance. Ensuring you keep your roof in good condition with regular checks and speedy\u00a0roof repairs<\/a>\u00a0can help you avoid more expensive and disruptive repair jobs.<\/p>\n

Leaks<\/h2>\n

Water can reach the decking, plywood, rafters or timbers,\u00a0underlayments, joists, and structural beams causing them to rot. This creates a grave issue capable of compromising even the highest quality roofs. Moisture can damage the ceilings and walls inside your home, creating further issues.<\/p>\n

Minor Problems Get Worse<\/h2>\n

The longer you delay roof repairs, the more serious the damage can become. Small leaks can grow, eventually threatening the structural integrity of your entire roof. When water or moisture reaches your fixtures, fittings and electrical appliances, it can create serious fire risk or electrical hazards. A leak can impact the integrity of the entire structure of your house and could cause the roof to collapse.<\/p>\n

Energy Use<\/h2>\n

In addition to the risk of leaks, gaps, holes and uneven\u00a0roof tiles\u00a0on your roof compromise its functions. Your heating and cooling systems must work harder, leading to higher bills in both winter and summer. Without a well-functioning roof, your home isn\u2019t properly insulated, sending your costs soaring.<\/p>\n

Mould Growth<\/h2>\n

A leaky or unsealed roof allows moisture in, making it the ideal breeding ground for mould and mildew growth. When this happens, it can damage your home and create hazards to your health. Once mould sets into your roof and other areas in your home, it can be extremely difficult and expensive to get rid of.<\/p>\n

Premature Replacement<\/h2>\n

The longer you delay\u00a0roof repairs, the weaker your roof becomes, as it\u2019s more susceptible to the elements. What could have been a simple, inexpensive roof repair job may instead be an\u00a0expensive roof replacement project.<\/p>\n

Increased Risk of Pests<\/h2>\n

Gaps in your roof allow pests like mice, possums, cockroaches and other insects to get in. These pests don\u2019t need a lot of space to enter your home. For example, mice can get in through a hole the size of a coin.<\/p>\n

The Real Damage May Be Hidden<\/h2>\n

Another reason to avoid delaying\u00a0roof repairs\u00a0is that you might not see how bad the damage is just by looking at your roof. For example, signs of\u00a0worn or damaged tiles<\/a>\u00a0might be indicative of underlayment damage which can cause serious moisture issues the next time there is a storm. If you notice any kind of minor problem, it\u2019s best to have a professional roof inspection carried out immediately to find out the full extent of the problem.<\/p>\n
