There's Something In The Attic

3/8/2022 (Permalink)

This home had ceilings in multiple rooms become wet and crash down into living spaces.

Heavy storms can cause wind and rain to become so powerful they can cause roof damage in the blink of an eye. In the midst of the storm, huge amounts of rain can come rushing inthrough that roof damage, and into a home.

Attics can be used for storage, but a lot of attics just seem like mostly empty spaces. Attics are in between the roof and the living spaces of a home, and unfortunately these spaces won't do much to stop large amounts of rainwater. They also make it hard to see some damage until it's too late. As desolate as they may seem, when the ceiling crashes down in the living space, it is then seen just how much goes into an attic space.

Besides stored belongings, sheetrock, debris, and insulation can come crashing down into a home before the inhabitants even knew there was a problem. This is also a barrier breakthat allows the outdoors and all it's water inside the living spaces.
