The Price of Water Damage and Roof Leaks-Electronics, flooring, carpeting, drywall, and more can all be ruined by water damage from heavy rains.  At times, it might damage the roof deck and rafters and reduce the efficiency of wet insulation. Such expenses could be readily avoided with prompt roof replacement.

Costs of Mold Removal and Remediation-Depending on the degree and severity of the mold growth, mold removal and cleanup can be very expensive. Mold issues can be avoided with new roofing that is more effective at keeping water out.

Removal of Rodents and Vermin-The expenses of cleaning your attic and other areas of the property that have been harmed by rodents or other vermin infestations might be high.  This is just one more way that replacing your roof could help you avoid future costs.

The Chance of Storm Damage Increasing-In a storm, old roofing is more likely to sustain damage.  Additionally, roofing damage from storms can be very expensive.  Since you have already hired a professional roof replacement for your home, it is much preferable to be ready before the storm ever appears on the weather radar screen!

Denying Insurance Claims for Roof Damage-Roof damage claims may be denied once roofing has outlived its guarantee, reached a certain age specified by your insurer, or is not in good enough condition to meet certain standards.  Alternatively, the scope of coverage can be reduced.  In very severe circumstances, an insurer can even decline to pay for old roofs altogether.

House Fires and Damage to Structures-The expense of major reconstruction to repair a collapsed roof, or at the very least to replace large sections of rotten, sagging roof-deck plywood, can be high.  Additionally, inefficient roofing that allows moisture or water to enter could eventually increase your danger of a home fire.  A fire might destroy all or part of your home and jeopardize the safety of your family, while a roof leak could expose electrical equipment to water.

Decreased Levels of Energy Efficiency-It is true that new roofing can only address a portion of the energy efficiency issues.  Additionally, it can dramatically reduce energy expenditures because the majority of hot air that escapes a building exits through the roof.
