1. Mold and Mildew

As your South Florida roof leaks, water seeps into your home, causing mold and mildew to gain a foothold, grow and spread. Not only does this present a serious issue that can result in health concerns like congestion and asthma, but mold spores can also spread through your homes HVAC system, infecting carpets, furniture, and even clothing. The earlier mold and mildew are detected, the easier it is to rid your home of this dangerous consequences of a roof leak.

2. Increased Energy Costs

Although unexpected, leaky roofs can make an enormous impact on your monthly utility bill. Water trickling in through a leaky roof can affect your South Florida homes insulation before its even visible on ceilings or walls. Insulation saturated with water is no longer effective in keeping your homes internal temperature regulated. That means the hot and cool air that your air conditioning system is working hard to produce is escaping through ineffective insulation. In turn, you end up with stuck with a bill for more than you bargained for.

3. Water Damage

Some of the most costly repairs to your home can be caused by water damage. Water entering your home can leave dark stains on your ceiling and walls. Even worse, ceilings can become so permeated with water that they leave you with the choice of an increasingly expensive repair bill or a collapsed ceiling. Homes constructed with drywall face additional risks associated with roof leaks. Water infecting your homes drywall can cause it to dampen or crumble into small pieces, risking the structure of your home. Homes constructed of wood arent missing out on the damage caused by a leaky roof either. Beams, studs, and joints that make up your homes structure can begin to rot and weaken, causing serious structural damage that needs immediate attention.
