What Causes a Leaky Roof?
Leaks are often caused by broken tiles, cracked flashing, blocked gutters, or worn-out roofing felt. Flat roofs, in particular, are vulnerable to water pooling and blistering. Regardless of the cause, it’s important to address it before water makes its way into the structure of your home.
The Risks of Leaving It
- Water damage spreads fast: Even a slow leak can soak insulation, warp timber beams, and damage ceilings or walls.
- Mould and damp: Persistent moisture encourages mould growth, which can pose health risks—especially in poorly ventilated areas.
- Electrical issues: If water gets into your lighting or wiring, it can cause shorts, outages, or fire risks.
- Wasted heating: Wet insulation becomes far less effective, which can drive up your energy bills.
- Invalid insurance claims: If damage worsens due to lack of action, your insurer may refuse to pay out.
