Can a Roof Leak Cause Mold in My Myrtle Beach Home?

Our humid climate makes it easier for mold to grow once wood and insulation stay damp. The best prevention is fixing roof leaks quickly and drying out any wet areas.

Where Does Mold Show Up From Roof Leaks?

• On roof decking and rafters in the attic.
• In wet insulation.
• On ceilings below the leak.

What Are Warning Signs?

Musty odors, dark spots on wood or drywall, and ceiling stains that keep coming back are all signs moisture is sticking around. Read how to find where your roof is leaking.
