With the right maintenance plan in place, the occasional roof repair and complete roofing inspecting each year, you can prevent costly roof leaks before they have a chance to happen. A roof leak is going to cause a lot more than just a headache. Roof leaks leave stains on ceilings, puddles on floors and soaking wet drywall wherever water ends up. But that’s just the start. A leaking roof that has been left “as is” for more than 36 hours can easily begin to develop dangerous black mold, smelly mildew and wood rotting fungus right away. These problems are going to cost you a fortune in repairs as well as cause serious health risks inside of your Mertztown home or business. Whether you have the occasional drip from your ceiling or buckets of water are pouring into your structure, having an immediate roof repair performed is the only way to prevent expensive roof damages.

Keep Landscaping Maintained

One of the easiest things home and business owners can do to protect their roofing investment from unnecessary damages is by keeping an eye on landscaping materials around the structure. Trees that overhang the structure are often at risk for damaging shingle roofing materials. Once wind and strong storms blow through the your area, you can be sure that a tree branch or two are going to damage roofs that are in close proximity. But more often than not, it’s not the strong winds that do the most damages, it’s the weak winds that do.

Roof Leaks can Be Deadly

Once these toxic byproducts of a roof leak are allowed to continue unabated, the entire roofing structure, attic insulation, air conditioning/heating ducts and ceiling/wall/floor materials may need to be replaced to prevent serious health problems that can occur when the toxic fungi and mold spores are released into the indoor air system of your Mertztown home or business. Black mold has been well documented to cause many serious respiratory problems in both asthmatic and healthy people’s lungs. If you notice black mold in your attic, ceiling or walls after a roof leak, vacate the structure and have repairs made right away.
