Your Albion Park Roof Repair Service
Water coming into your roof can occur gradually over time, or suddenly run down your ceiling or walls during a heavy rain event. When roof damage is addressed promptly, it can often be a simple repair. When the need for a roof repair goes ignored, however, it can lead to serious damage.
Our Albion Park roof repair team is experienced in identifying and repairing roofs across the Illawarra. For smaller repairs, we can provide a quick quote and organise a suitable time to complete the job. If more significant work is required, we can still provide a temporary solution to prevent further damage from occurring until the repair work is completed.
Why is your roof leaking?
Roof leaks can occur for a number of reasons, but more often than not, the damage that causes the leak has gone unnoticed for some time. Many roof repairs in Albion Park that we deal with have been allowing water in over an extended period before anyone realised. We recommend having a professional roof inspection every five years to identify any issues before they cause further damage. A minor roof repair caught early can be simple to fix and is much more cost-effective than having to deal with the resulting damage caused by a roof leak.
Common reasons for roof leaks include:
- Broken or cracked tiles. Both concrete and terracotta tiles are great materials for Australian roofs and last a long time. However, they can become more brittle over time and get cracked or dislodged. A weak spot on a tiled roof can affect the integrity of the entire roof structure.
- Blocked or ineffective guttering. Gutters that can’t divert water the way they’re designed to, can actually send water into your home instead of away from it! Partially blocked gutters can often cope with light or short bursts of rainfall but will be unable to manage a heavy downpour. Runoff can end up entering your fascia, wall cavities, and ceiling.
- Ageing properties. Most Australian roofs will last 20-25 years if maintained properly. Worn-out roofing materials, debris that builds up over time, and the ongoing impact of the elements result in wear and tear on your roof over the years. As your property ages, all sorts of maintenance costs increase, including the likelihood of needing roof repairs. Sometimes, a roof restoration is the best option for an ageing roof, but our Albion Park roof repair specialists can advise you on the options that are available.
