What is the cause of moisture in the roof?

If moisture in the roof of a building is not detected and resolved early, this can have adverse consequences in repair costs and of course also for the health of the residents

Moisture in the roof is a common problem in many buildings. The phenomenon occurs when an amount of moisture gets trapped between the roof and the roof insulation.


If moisture in the roof of a building is not detected and resolved early, this can have adverse consequences in repair costs and of course also for the health of the residents.

(How to insulate a basement roof)


When moisture and condensation is present in the roof of a building, roof trusses can open and rust can develop. In addition, it is possible for fungi and algae to grow and multiply that can cause serious health problems. Cell walls and roofing materials will contain blue green algae and fungal infections and fungal diseases.

 

What is the cause of moisture in the roof?


Poor roof insulation ensures that moisture remains trapped between the roof and the insulation. Subsequently, the moisture penetrates the interior and materials are affected, causing the building to deteriorate in quality.


In addition, moisture is created by cooking, showering, washing and other indoor activities where water is used.

This is common in a normal household. Particularly in the warmer periods of the year, this produced moisture is evaporated and rises.


If the ceiling or attic is insufficiently sealed, the vapor can travel through the ceiling and become trapped between the insulation and the roof.


The moisture will not dry completely if there is insufficient ventilation and inadequate insulation is placed at the roof.

As a result, when temperatures drop again in the winter months (including at night), condensation forms or the vapor changes back to liquid.


This liquid water can then spread again and affect materials in the building.


How do you recognize moisture in the roof?


Condensation or moisture in the roof can often be recognized by a stain on the ceiling or on the purlin hangers.

When we talk about a purlin, we are talking about a wooden or metal horizontal structure that has an aiding function in supporting the roof.


The purlin hanger is often a metal part that connects the end of the purlin to the wall. Condensation and moisture can often be recognized as a dark stripe or spot on the purlin. On the ceiling, condensation and moisture can often be recognized by one large patch of concentric circles with the darkest color on the inside of the circle.

 

How to fight moisture on the roof


Dissolving moisture in the roof starts with inspecting and maintaining it. You can do this by companies that specialize in ventilation, condensation and insulation.


If there is already damage to the roof due to the roof moisture, there are various ways to repair this without replacing. If the roof is badly damaged, some parts will have to be replaced.


It is also important to install ventilation systems in the roof. Good ventilation ensures that moisture is not trapped between the insulation and the roof.

Depending on the cause and materials, our specialists will find the most suitable solutions.
