With all this rain, have you noticed any roof leaks in your home or outbuildings? If so, don’t let them go unchecked! Even small leaks can cause significant water damage over time, leading to costly repairs and serious structural issues.
At Farrow Built, we’ve seen firsthand the impact of neglected roof maintenance. From vegetation sprouting in attics to mold spreading through walls and floors, roof leaks can wreak havoc on any post-frame building or traditional structure. In some cases, we’ve even found completely rotted door headers and support posts—all because leaks were left untreated for years.
Why Identifying Roof Leaks Is Critical
One of the biggest challenges with roof repair is that not all leaks are obvious. Some don’t show visible signs of damage until it’s too late. Older buildings, whether they feature metal roofing or shingles, are particularly vulnerable. Hidden leaks can allow water to pool in unseen areas, creating the perfect conditions for long-term damage to roof structures and interiors.
Take, for example, a chicken coop we inspected recently. A small leak went unnoticed, and over time, water eroded part of the floor, leaving behind a large, water-filled hole. This is just one example of how undetected roof damage can affect your building.
How to Prevent Roof Leaks
The best way to prevent costly damage is with a professional roof inspection. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they turn into major problems. If you own pole barns, metal buildings, or older structures, it’s essential to ensure your roofing system is watertight.
Stopping leaks early not only protects your property but also saves you money in the long run. Don’t wait until visible damage appears—take action now to safeguard your post-frame buildings or other structures this winter.
