Whether you’re a landlord who recently discovered that your building’s flashing is warped and/or falling off; or you’re a homeowner who found streaks of mold in your attic, you may need to call a roofing contractor, ASAP, to stop the leak and fix underlying damage.

A visible leak may be just the proverbial “the tip of the iceberg.” The damage that you can see with your eyes may be just a fraction of the total damage. Leaks can cause a variety of problems:

• Immediate clean up work and costs. For instance, you might need to extract and replace damaged shingles, flashing, and gutters. You may also need to repair/replace rotted wood and damaged structures (similar to the photo above);
• Leaks left to fester can grow geometrically. Your instinct might be to “do nothing” — or, rather, to “do as little as possible” — especially if you’re managing a large commercial property. It can be expensive and annoying to fix a roof issue. But industrial roofing repair can get progressively more expensive, the longer that you wait;
• Rotted roofs can compromise your structure and get you in trouble. You may face problems, such as: code violations, lawsuits, etc;
• If you own a commercial building, a damaged/rotting roof may drive away business. Tenants could complain or even abandon their leases;
• Problematic roofs can create accidents. For instance, if a worker, tenant or inspector slips on mildewed shingles and breaks his back, he can sue you for damages;
• Leaks can destroy your building’s air quality. Mold, mildew, and other microbes can make the premises uninhabitable – and lead to extra costs for removal/sanitation.
