Figtree Roof Leak Repair Service
It’s usually a roof leak that is the first indicator that you need a roof repair service. Water entering your roof might appear suddenly during a big weather event or creep in gradually, with tell-tale marks appearing on your walls or ceilings. Isolated roof damage that is addressed quickly is usually a simpler job, but left untreated, a damaged roof can lead to more costly and complicated repairs.
Call our friendly Figtree roof leak repair team to inspect your roof. We will carry out a complete roof inspection and identify any damage that needs attention.
For simple, isolated roof repairs, we provide a quote and a timeframe to complete the work. If it’s a bigger repair job or we think you might be better off looking at roof restoration, we can still provide temporary solutions to prevent any further damage occurring.
Common causes of leaking roofs:
A roof leak can happen for various reasons, and might appear gradually over time, or suddenly during a big downpour. We find many of the Figtree roof leak repairs we see have been letting water enter the roof over many months, even years! Often, it’s not until the damage becomes more noticeable that we we get called in. If you haven’t had a professional roof specialist up on your roof in five years or more, we strongly recommend booking in for a routine roof inspection. It’s much easier and cost effective to address minor issues before they turn into major ones.
Common reasons for roof leaks include:
- Cracked or broken roof tiles. While concrete and terracotta tiles are excellent roofing materials, environmental wear and tear, destruction by wildlife and extreme weather events can cause damage over time. Once a weak spot develops in a tiled roof, the integrity of the whole structure can end up compromised and water can start weaving it’s way inside.
- Blocked or compromised guttering. When your gutters can’t direct water the way it’s supposed to go, runoff can end up in all the wrong places! A partially blocked gutter might be able to cope with light rainfall, but not with a heavy downpour. Water can then end up in your fascia, wall cavities and ceiling.
- Older roofs. Most roofs should last 20-25 years with proper maintenance. Over time, degradation of roofing materials, accumulated debris and environmental impact will put strain on the materials and fixings. As a building ages, costs increase, including the need for roof maintenance. There may come a time where a roof restoration is more appropriate, but our Figtree roof leak repair team can offer advice on the best option for you.
