Stop Mold Before It Starts: How Roof Repairs Protect Your Home

How Roof Damage Leads to Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew thrive in damp environments, and your roof is key to keeping moisture out of your home. When your roof is damaged—whether from missing shingles, leaks, or improper sealing—water can easily penetrate your attic and walls. This trapped moisture creates the perfect conditions for mold and mildew to grow, which can have severe consequences for your home and health.

Common signs of roof damage that can lead to mold and mildew include:

• Leaks in the attic: Water intrusion can lead to damp insulation and structural wood, providing the ideal environment for mold spores to grow.
• Poor ventilation: Moisture can build up in the attic without proper roof ventilation, increasing the risk of mold and mildew.
• Clogged gutters: When gutters are blocked, water doesn’t drain properly from the roof, potentially seeping into the foundation or under the roofing materials.
  

The mold and mildew in your home are more than just an unpleasant sight. Mold spores can cause various health problems, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues. Prolonged mold exposure can lead to:

• Respiratory problems, such as asthma or bronchitis
• Allergy symptoms, including sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes
• Skin irritation
• In severe cases, long-term exposure can result in chronic respiratory conditions.
