Roof Condensation Damage

Roof condensation damage can prove to be not only expensive to repair, but is a safety and security problem for home and businesses alike. An oft-missed problem during a building or roof inspection, condensation can result in rotted building materials, deterioration of ceilings and walls, and health hazards to occupants, such as moss & algae growth. Condensation on a roof develops when moisture becomes trapped in the insulation or radiant barriers in your roofing structure. Left undetected and untreated, roof condensation can destroy your entire roofing structure and result in costly replacements and repairs.

Roofing Inadequate Ventilation Damage

It is not unusual to find roofing inadequate ventilation damage even in a recently built home. Typically roof structures contain some form of vapor retardant that is covered in foil or made from foil. During the day, as your residence or commercial building heats up, an air cavity is created between the insulation and your roof which absorbs the sun’s rays. And, since hot air increases water evaporation, this draws extra moisture into the air cavity. If your insulation is of the wrong type or the area isn’t well ventilated, this moisture doesn’t completely dry. Consequently, as your home or office cools, this cavity cools, and the water trapped there condenses and seeps into the wooden parts of your roofing structure. Over time this process will completely destroy your roofing structure, requiring costly roof structure rebuilding in addition to roof replacement.
