Local conditions

What affects roof leak water damage in Seattle

Call Now (833) 502-4258

Freezing weather and burst pipes

Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of roof leak water damage in Washington. Pipes in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, and unheated garages can split, and the leak often starts only when the pipe thaws. The American Red Cross advises keeping the heat at 55°F or higher when you are away and letting faucets on exterior walls drip during extreme cold.

A long rainy season

Months of steady rain in Washington keep roofs, gutters, and crawl spaces under constant moisture load. Small leaks that go unnoticed for weeks are common, so roof leak water damage often includes finding where water has been entering slowly.

Crawl spaces and wood subfloors

Crawl space foundations are common in Washington. Water that reaches the crawl space soaks insulation and wood framing out of sight, so roof leak water damage often includes inspecting and drying under the house, not only the rooms above.
