Roof Leak
Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 8:39 pm
Hey everyone,
Well this weekend we had a large rain storm and I woke up with a drip drip drip in our bedroom. We clearly have a roof leak. I am having someone out here to repair the roof (i think the leak is near the bathroom vent). My bigger question is, how concerned do I need to be over the leaking that already occurred? Do I need to check for mold or mildew? The ceiling is not sagging but it has a small crack in it and I do smell a faint mildewey smell. Obviously we don't have attic access, so we'd have to cut away to the ceiling to see up in there. Is it enough to repair the leak and leave it at that or should we go up in there to take a look around regardless?
I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thank you so much! I am clueless.
