Common Symptoms of Sewer Lateral Issues:

1. Foul Sewer Odor:  Normally, sewer odors are trapped by water in the drain traps or directed out of the building by vents. However, if the water in a drain trap dries up, or if a vent pipe is damaged or improperly installed, sewer odors can escape into your home.
2. Overgrown Grass Patch: A leaking sewer lateral might release water and waste into your yard, enriching the soil with moisture and nutrients. This often results in a noticeably lush and overgrown patch of grass.
3. Sewer Line Backups: These typically occur when there’s a blockage caused by roots, debris, grease, or a crushed pipe.

There are numerous potential causes of roof leaks. One common reason is improper installation of roof components, which can lead to leaks. Damage to any part of the roof can also result in leakage. Here are some typical causes of roof leaks to be aware of:

1. Missing or damaged shingles: Shingles that are missing or damaged fail to protect against water. Such issues often stem from poor installation, inadequate repairs, or harsh weather conditions.
2. Objects on the roof: Attaching items like solar panels, security cameras, or holiday decorations can cause leaks if they disrupt the roof’s integrity.
3. Vents and exhaust fans: These can lead to leaks if they are improperly installed or damaged.
4. Skylights: While skylights are designed with specific flashing to prevent leaks, faulty or damaged flashing can compromise their effectiveness.
5. Exposed or improperly driven nails and screws: Nails and screws should be covered by shingles. Exposed fasteners are potential leak sources, especially if incorrect nails were used.
6. Roof valleys: These critical areas require careful installation and regular cleaning to prevent blockages and subsequent leaks.
7. Chimney issues: Improper flashing around chimneys can allow water to penetrate, as they extend from the base of the home through the roof.
8. Flashing problems: Flashing is crucial for sealing various roof features. If it’s bent, damaged, or missing, leaks can occur.
9. Walking on the roof: Frequent or careless walking can damage the roof, especially in sensitive areas like valleys. Roofers use appropriate footwear and techniques to avoid damage.
10. DIY roof repairs: Roofing requires expertise, and improper homeowner repairs can lead to more issues. It’s best to hire a professional for roof work.
11. Tree damage: Overhanging branches can scrape shingles and create entry points for water. Trees can damage roofs in several ways.

Understanding these causes can help in maintaining the roof’s condition and preventing leaks.

Water intrusion refers to the unwanted entry of water or vapor into buildings, where it can cause significant damage. This intrusion can occur through natural sources like rainwater seeping through a leaky roof or from municipal water supplies. Additionally, water intrusion can bring other hazards such as debris, toxic waste, bacteria, and mold into the environment.

Common Examples of Water Intrusion:

1. A roof leak is a clear instance of water intrusion, as it allows unwanted water to enter your home, potentially causing damage.
2. Basement flooding is another typical example, where water seeps through cracks or other openings in the foundation or basement walls.
3. While the more apparent examples include plumbing leaks and flooding, there are subtler forms of intrusion, such as the accumulation of water vapor and condensation within a building. Even though these may not be as immediately dramatic as a major plumbing leak, they can still deteriorate building materials and pose risks to the building's structural integrity and indoor air quality.
