Roof Leaks and Slow Water Damage
Why small roof leaks can create hidden moisture, mould and material deterioration.
- Inspect after wind, ice and heavy rain.
- Look for staining, soft drywall, bubbling paint and musty odours.
- Do not assume a dry surface means the cavity is dry.
- Photograph conditions before temporary repairs.
- Arrange roof and interior moisture assessment.
When to call for help
Contact a restoration professional when damage is active, utilities may be unsafe, contamination is possible, materials remain wet, mould is visible or the affected area is larger than a simple surface cleanup.
