Leaking Roof Repair

Do you need Leaking Roof Repairs in the Ipswich area?

There are a number of reasons you may have a leaking roof which can cause damage to your home.  Damage from storms or branches of trees, corroded roofing broken tiles cracked pointing or poor roof flashings are common causes.

When trying to determine the extent of a leaking roof it helps to know what type of roof you have. There are many types of roofs in the Ipswich area. Corrugated Iron was common for older homes as well as Tiles modern houses use colour bond steel or concrete tiles.

Metal Roofs

Metal Roofs such as corrugated Iron which are  common in Ipswich can rust (corrode) and if this occurs your roof may need replacing. But before getting an expensive roof replacement let us check to see if there are other problems causing your roof to leak. For example your flashing’s may be damaged or missing.  Screws could have come loose, or there may be damage from fallen trees.

Tile Roofs

We are seeing more tile roofs leak in Ipswich after the recent storms, because of loose or missing tiles broken tiles or the pointing (cement that holds the ridge capping in place) needing replacement. Be careful about someone telling you that you need your roof painted to resolve this problem. Sure it is nice to improve the appearance of your house however it is seldom the cause of  leaking roofs. Roof restoration companies will usually replace tiles and re point to fix leaks however the paint is normally aesthetic.

Loose or Damaged Flashings

If Flashings are damaged or become loose then these will need to be replaced or repaired.  At Ipswich Plumber we will ensure that these problems are cost effectively and efficiently repaired.
