Leaks and water damage are the bane of every roofing system. What surprises most homeowners, however, is that this often doesn\u2019t always come from the rain. Excess moisture can manifest within the house itself and permanently damage the roof when not addressed as soon as possible. <\/span>Dynamic Roofing Concepts Inc. shares how moisture damages even the most durable\u00a0roofing\u00a0systems, and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n

What Causes Condensation?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Heat from your home naturally escapes upwards through the roof. Normally, this is dispersed in the air, but it often condenses into a liquid form when it comes into contact with the roof. The accumulated condensation creates a wet and damp environment that essentially soaks the shingles. Not only does this cause water damage, it also loosens the shingle\u2019s protective roofing granules.<\/p>\n

Condensation occurs on both residential and\u00a0commercial roofing\u00a0systems and happens when the surface of the roof is colder than the inside of the attic space. This is easily addressed with proper ventilation and insulation though, ensuring that the roof and the attic space have relatively the same temperature.<\/p>\n

Moisture Damages Shingles<\/b><\/h2>\n

Cracks and blisters on the shingles are a clear sign of long-term water intrusion and damage, and can further put your roof at risk. Blistering shingles, for example, makes the roof more susceptible to rain and frost damage. These risks are the reason why we recommend you address any roofing concern as soon as possible.\u00a0 That small chip on the roof can become a leak in no time after all.<\/p>\n

Mold Development<\/b><\/h2>\n

Damp roofing conditions also attract mold that quickly proliferates on the surface of the roof. These are harmless to the roof itself, but can become a health risk if you have family members with allergies or asthma. You can take steps to reduce moisture levels within your home by ensuring each space is well-ventilated so that the thick, warm air doesn\u2019t rise up and condense on the roof.<\/p>\n
