Your Woonona Roof Repair Service
The first indicator you need a roof repair is often a roof leak. When water enters your roof, it might come on suddenly during a heavy downpour or gradually creep in over time. Roof damage that is dealt with in a timely manner is usually a straightforward roof repair, but if left untreated, roof damage can lead to more complex problems.
Call our friendly Woonona roof repair team to carry out a thorough roof inspection and identify any damage.
For smaller roof repairs, we’ll provide a timely quote and arrange a time to complete the job. If it’s more complex, or a potential roof restoration that is needed, we can still provide a temporary solution to prevent any further damage occurring until the repair work is completed.
Common Reasons for Roof Leaks
There can be various reasons why a roof leaks, with tell-tale signs appearing slowly over time, or significant volumes of water coming in during an extreme weather event. Unfortunately, many of the Woonona roof repair jobs we get called to have been letting water enter the roof for an extended period and it’s not before the damage becomes more obvious that the occupants realise. If it’s been more than 5 years since you’ve had a professional roofer up on your roof, we strongly recommend booking in for a roof inspection. It’s much easier and cost effective to deal with minor issues before they develop into bigger ones.
Common reasons for roof leaks include:
- Damaged roof tiles. While concrete and terracotta tiles are excellent roofing materials, they can degrade over time and become cracked or dislodged. Once a tiled roof has a weak spot, the integrity of the entire roof can be compromised and water can find it’s way inside.
- Blocked or inefficient gutters. When gutters can’t divert water the way they’re designed to, water ends up where you don’t want it! A partially blocked gutter might manage lighter or shorter bursts of rainfall, but will become overwhelmed with a heavy downpour. Uncontrolled runoff can end up in your fascia, wall cavities and ceiling.
- Ageing roofs. Most roofs should last 20-25 years, if properly maintained. Worn roofing materials, built up debris and the impact of the environment place wear and tear on your roof over time. As your property gets older, maintenance costs increase, including the likelihood of roof repairs. There may come a time where a roof restoration is more appropriate, but our Woonona roof repair specialists can offer expertise on the best option for you.
