Local Roof Leak Diagnosis & Repair
Roof leaks can be difficult to track down, especially when water travels through the roof before showing up inside the home. We help Newcastle homeowners find the source of the problem and carry out the right repair before it causes further damage.
The challenge:
Finding a roof leak isn’t always as simple as looking directly above the wet patch inside the home.
Water can enter through one section of the roof and travel along battens, rafters or other parts of the roof cavity before it becomes visible inside. That means the place where you see the water isn’t necessarily where the leak started.
Newcastle homes can also have a mix of older roofing materials, flashing, valleys and roof penetrations that have been exposed to years of rain, heat and coastal conditions. The challenge is finding the actual source of the leak rather than repeatedly repairing the wrong area.
The Solution:
We start by inspecting the affected area and looking for the most likely points where water could be getting into the roof.
We check the surrounding tiles or roof sheets, flashing, valleys, joins, seals and other vulnerable areas rather than focusing only on the visible water damage inside.
Once we’ve identified the likely source, we explain what needs attention and carry out the appropriate repair. Depending on the problem, that may involve replacing damaged roofing, repairing flashing, resealing vulnerable areas or fixing sections that have deteriorated over time.
Our focus is on addressing the cause of the leak properly so you’re not left dealing with the same problem every time Newcastle gets another heavy downpour.
The Result:
The result is a properly repaired section of roof with the source of the leak addressed, rather than simply covering up the visible symptoms.
By dealing with the problem early, we can also help reduce the risk of further water damage to ceilings, insulation and other areas inside the home.
Most importantly, you can head into Newcastle’s next period of rain with greater confidence that the problem has actually been dealt with.
