Leaking roofs aren’t just irritating. They can cause serious damage inside the home. The issues can range from a simple cracked tile or damaged flashing through to holes in the roof caused by storm damage. Water leaking into the home can cause damage to walls, ceilings, furniture, flooring and can severely affect the structural integrity of the home. That’s why we offer an emergency 24/7 roof repair service.
Some roof leaks are a lot more visible to the naked eye than others. Of course, serious water ingress into the home will probably be noticed quite quickly. But what if there’s only a tiny hole in the roof, letting in a small amount of water at a time? Believe it or not, this type of problem can be even more damaging because you might not notice it for months.
Some of the common signs that you need leaking roof repairs in South East Queensland include:
Wall and ceiling stains: If you notice brown or yellowing spots and stains on your ceiling or walls, it’s almost certainly a moisture issue. The discolouration will continue to get worse until the cause of the problem is fixed. Pay particular attention to the corners of rooms.
Mould: If you’ve got mould in your house, then you have a moisture problem. Not all mould is caused by a leaking roof, but if you notice mould on the ceiling or walls, this could be a sign that water is leaking from your roof cavity. Also keep an eye out for new moss growing on the walls outside, as this can often indicate the presence of more moisture.
Bubbling paint: Before any water starts spilling into your room, it will usually start to pool behind your paint. This happens mostly on the ceiling and can be identified at first by small bubbles appearing in the paintwork.
If you notice any of these issues in your home, call the team at Brastin Roofing immediately. We’ll be there as quickly as possible to inspect the situation and recommend the appropriate repairs.
There are many things that can cause a roof to leak. Some are avoidable while others are beyond your control. Regardless, if you experience a leaking roof, you want it fixed as soon as possible to avoid any further damage to your home. Here are just some of the reasons that you may find water leaking into your home.
Damaged roof tiles: Tile damage is most often found in older homes, however, any home can experience broken, cracked or dislodged tiles due to weather events such as storms and heavy rainfall. Even a small crack in a roof tile can allow water to seep through, and it will eventually make its way into your roof cavity.
Holes: Naturally, a hole in the roof is going to allow water through. Holes can occur through natural wear and tear on older roofs, however, most holes occur as a result of storm damage. Hail is one of the main culprits, as are trees and branches falling on the roof during a storm.
Flashing problems: Roof flashing is usually quite a thin metal material, and is therefore susceptible to damage. The flashing covers seams and joints in your roofing, covering gaps that water could seep through. If the flashing is damaged or poorly installed, you may find water getting inside.
Gutter blockages: If you don’t clean gutters regularly or install proper gutter guards, debris builds up over time and can block downpipes. In heavy rainfall, the water can gather in your gutters and spill over the side. However, it can also cause water to seep into the home, causing often unseen damage.
If storms and other wild weather have caused damage to your roof, it’s a good idea to get it fixed as soon as possible. Brastin Roofing offers an emergency 24/7 service for major roof
