Home
Humidity is a common concern in homes, and high humidity levels can pose risks to different building components, including your roof.
Moisture in Your Indoor Spaces
Moisture and humidity are always present in any home, and it’s important to keep them at normal levels. The higher the humidity in your living spaces, the more it can pose problems for your roof. Try to keep moisture within your home at a normal range because excess moisture will likely go up to your attic where it could possibly get trapped and cause damage.
High Moisture Level in the Attic
Moisture that gets trapped in your attic space needs to be properly vented out. Excess moisture in your attic can lead to issues with your roofing materials, especially the wooden parts like the decking and rafters. If you fail to address the excess moisture in your attic, rot could develop in your roofing system and lead to a costly repair or replacement.
External Humidity
Local weather and recent rainfall can also affect your roof. The more humid the weather is in your area, the more it is recommended to have regular roof inspections to check on possible water-related damage. High humidity can cause condensation, which could result in problems with your roof. Fortunately, regular roof inspections can help you detect minor issues and resolve them before they become significant problems.
