Roof Leaks and Water Damage in Cheshire
Roof leaks are one of the most common yet underestimated sources of water damage in Cheshire homes. Even small leaks can lead to significant deterioration of insulation, roofing materials, and ceilings if left unattended. Water may seep into walls, causing hidden mold growth and structural decay that often goes unnoticed until it’s severe.
