Homeowners usually neglect the condition of their roof which is the part of their house that can allow a lot of damage to be done to the interior spaces. The homeowner would not realize that his home is suffering from a damaged roof until the walls and ceilings show signs of water penetration. The home’s interiors will be adversely affected when the roof leaks into the attic. The water will get into the living area resulting in damage to the ceiling and the walls. This condition also promotes the growth of black mold.
