What to expect after a roof damage?

Damaged roofs often happen during a storm. The Falls Township, PA, area will often have high winds and ice damage. A damaged roof can have two major problems, one more noticeable than the other.

1. Water intrusion
2. Water leak

Water Intrusion is when the roof is damaged enough that all the water shows up at one time. Rain water through the roof needs immediate attention. Most of the time the building materials will need to be removed and the rest dried. The roof will need to be fixed as part of the rebuild process.

A Water Leak is slow and only noticeable after staining or crumbling of the drywall. Even worse is when mold shows on the surface. Upon further inspection there can be dry rot and mold all along the water's path.
