The Risks of Roof Leaks
Roof leaks go beyond being a mere nuisance or an aesthetic concern. They present various risks that can have enduring impacts on your home and the health of all who live there.
Here are four key reasons why property owners should address roof leaks promptly:
- Water damage: Persistent roof leaks can cause extensive water damage to your home’s interior, including ceilings, walls, and floors. This can weaken structural elements, leading to expensive repairs and potentially compromising the safety of your home.
- Electrical hazards: Water intrusion from roof leaks can reach electrical wiring and outlets, posing severe electrical hazards, including short circuits, electrical fires, and shocks. Immediate attention to roof leaks can help alleviate these dangerous situations.
- Mold and mildew: Moisture from roof leaks creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew growth. These fungi can spread rapidly through your home, causing structural damage and turning into health risks, such as respiratory issues and allergic reactions.
- Pests: Damp areas caused by roof leaks attract pests, like insects and rodents, seeking shelter and water. These unwanted guests can cause further damage to your home and create additional health hazards for you and your family.

What to Do When Your Roof Is Leaking
After calling Petersen Construction & Roofing, there are immediate actions you can take to minimize damage and potentially reduce repair costs:
- Contain the water: Use buckets, pans, or any available containers to catch dripping water and prevent it from spreading. Placing towels around the area can help absorb splashes and keep the surrounding floor dry, minimizing further damage.
- Protect your property: Move any furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the affected area to avoid water damage. Cover larger, immovable items with plastic sheeting or tarps to shield them from moisture until we can address the leak.
- Relieve the water pressure: If you see a bulge forming in your ceiling, carefully puncture the lowest point to allow the water to drain into a container. This helps prevent the ceiling from collapsing and reduces the risk of more extensive structural damage.
- Document the Process: Take photos and videos documenting the leak from its inception throughout the process and until all repairs are complete. This will be helpful when settling with your insurance company.

"Needless to say, we were extremely happy with the work completed, and in a timely manner."
A couple years ago we had a tree fall on our house during a storm. A friend of ours recommended that we call Petersen Construction and Roofing for a free estimate for repairs to the siding and roof.
Jeff W. -
"Very pleased with it and the install."
Turn out my decking was bad. So it all came off and the new roof was done the same day. I dare say other contractors would not have handled it as well.

"The crew came out and did an excellent job. He also helped communicate with my insurance company."
We were selling our house and was already under contract when the property inspector reported it needed a new roof due to some hail damage. We needed to hire someone quickly, so I asked around and one of my colleagues suggested Petersen Construction.
Patricia K. -
"Paul Petersen was very careful to match the right roofing materials to our roof which had a shallow slope."
We were so impressed that we asked Paul to help us do an elaborate screen porch enclosure, which was very high-quality in both strength and design.
