What are the First Signs of Roof Leak?

Unfortunately, it’s common for roof leaks to go unnoticed until water is physically observed leaking into the building. This can sometimes mean substantial damage to the structure, depending on how long the water has been allowed to drip.

This can be prevented with regular inspections and in some cases for older or less maintained buildings, a complete roof restoration.

Some of the common indicators of roof leak include:

Water stains in the walls
Brown stains or discolouration in the ceiling
Damp smells in the roof cavity
Mould growth
Large bulging bubbles in the paintwork
Light streaking through the roof
Higher energy bills from deteriorated insulation

Identifying the Source of Your Roof Leak

To effectively reduce the damage of leaking ceiling, it’s crucial to pinpoint the exact cause of water infiltration into your home.

If it is safe to do so, begin by inspecting your roof to confirm if it’s the entry point for rainwater.

Look out for other sources of leakage as well, such as blocked gutters, vermin damage, or complications with your home’s plumbing. Examine the condition of roof tiles and ceiling drywall for any signs of damage.

The Metropolitan Roof Repairs team of experts can inspect your roof with leak detection technology to quickly locate, identify and repair the problem, keeping your home safe and secure.

Preparation for the Repair of Your Roof

Once the source of the leak is identified, prepare the affected area for repair. Clearing the site helps mitigate further damage from roof leaks and facilitates quicker leak detection by our leak repairmen.

Clean up any water pooled under the leak and use buckets to catch ongoing drips. Also, ensure to move or protect furniture and appliances near the leak. For items too cumbersome to move, waterproof plastic covers are a good preventive measure.

Leaking Roof Repairs in Surrey Hills

Ridge caps are the tiles or shingles that protect your roof where two angles meet at the peaks of your roof. These are one of the most important elements to diverting rainwater off the roof. When the ridge caps are improperly installed or if damaged, leaking roofs will follow.

Over time, you can expect the bedding and repointing beneath your ridge caps to deteriorate (even if they were installed perfectly). If your roof was installed for at least a couple of years, this could be a potential source of your roof leak.

Our team guarantees you will meet one of our highly qualified owners to personally discuss all your roof repair and restoration needs. We offer fixed prices for all our jobs and never hide any costs from you.

Regular Roof Maintenance

1. Helps homeowners to save long term costs

If you are putting off leak repairs due to budget concerns, consider the long term cost of not repairing the leak now. Water damage will reduce the lifespan of the entire roof, and eventually the entire house. Total costs to repair the leak on a specific area will be smaller in comparison to replacing the entire roof.

2. Increases lifespan of the roof

Throughout the life of the roof, it will need maintenance from time to time to help keep it running smoothly.
