What can happen if I don’t get my stone roof repaired?

Taking care of your roof is what’s needed for it to continue to look good and function as it should, however, if you neglect a damaged segment of your roofing works then a lot of things can begin to go wrong.

Leakage

If your roof is in need of a replacement and if you neglect it, then it won’t be able to function correctly, leading to obvious water damage. Water will begin to leak into your property and could potentially rot the roof, creating a more serious problem.

Decreasing the value of your property

Not only will your faulty roofing works not operate how it should, but it will also look deplorable. This can decrease the value of your building significantly, and will instantly turn away a potential buyer. Replacing or repairing your roof and chimney will seriously improve its curb appeal, and is essential if you’re looking to sell your building at some point in the future.

Serious health risks

A leaky roof doesn’t just mean that water is a new common denominator in your property, but other unwanted bits of matter can begin to enter, such as mould and mildew.
