With as much rain as we get in the Portland area, roof leaks are pretty destructive.  Water leaking down into building materials in the short-term can cause water damage, and in the long-term, if not fixed quickly can cause mold.

If the water entry area is visually obvious, a roofing contractor is needed to patch up the problem, and then the rest of your home can be fixed.  If the water entry area is not visually obvious, give us a call and we can use our moisture equipment to find the entry spot.

Most common causes of roof leaks:

Wind plus Heavy Rain – The most common cause of Portland roof leaks is wind-driven rain.  Heavy wind can blow rain into nooks and crannies that are otherwise shielded from the rain.

Ice Dams – While it’s not too often that we see major snowstorms in Portland, ice dams form from snow melting and then refreezing and pushing the water up into your attic.  As that melts for the second time, the water runoff drips into your home.

What Are The Consequences of Roof Leaks?

Roof leaks come with many unfortunate consequences. Untreated or improperly treated water damage can bring on long-term problems, such as:

• Health complications: Roof leaks can cause mold and bacteria growth, leading to serious allergies and respiratory conditions. Those with chronic illnesses and autoimmune disorders are at even higher risk.
• Structural damage: The longer that building materials are wet, the more chance of long term damage.

With all that in mind, it’s imperative that you find the right water damage repair company to help you deal with your flood damage.
