Slow Roof Leak

Some roof leaks are obvious - a wet spot appears on a wall or ceiling, or a puddle appears on the floor. However, some roof leaks are smaller and more gradual and have less obvious signs. In the case of this homeowner, a small, steady leak over the course of several months (or years!) resulted in a significant mold issue. In order to remove mold that had found it's home in the drywall behind cabinets, everything had to be removed down to the concrete block encasing a fireplace on the opposite wall. 

In the before picture you can notice some markings on the wall. These are moisture tests done by SERVPRO of Murray, Benton, Cadiz & Princeton to determine the source and severity of the leak. If you suspect a leak in your roof, call SERVPRO of Murray, Benton, Cadiz & Princeton to test for moisture in your home. (270) 753-1160
