As mold grows and moisture soaks into the properties wood support beams, it can lead to the reduction of structured support strength. Over time, this could lead to a dangerous situation. A leak in your roof could cause your insulation to become wet. Most buildings are insulated with fiberglass insulation. This insulating material uses air pockets between the fibers to create a heat barrier. When exposed to water, fiberglass insulation will become heavy and crumple.
