Sourcing roof leaks can be a tricky task. It can cause feelings of discomfort and anxiety to you as a homeowner. You know that feeling when you look for something that has been there all along but you can’t find exactly where it is? This may sound close to being crazy but instances like this happen in real life.
Sourcing Roof Leaks
The task of finding the exact location of roof leaks is never a game of counting 123 or reciting ABC. It can be as complicated as sorting out one’s life. In most cases, the actual spot of the leak is not always where the water casts stains on your ceiling and spoils the splendor of your paintwork.
Your roof can allow entry of water and make its way down through the insulation and eventually ruin the beauty of your ceiling.
Proline Roof Restorations is one of the leading Perth-based specialists that can handle roof leaks professionally. Here’s a peek of the tested and proven procedures employed by our experienced tradesmen that consistently keep up with industry standards:
- Visual inspection on the exposed surface of the roof. This is done by examining the outside surface of your roof very closely. We begin with the surface that is way higher than the stained area of your ceiling. Roof tiles or corrugated iron sheets that show signs of damage are potential sources of roof leaks. The roofline on your exterior walls with presence of moisture or water spots underneath can be a sign of damaged flashings. Homeowners should regularly oversee these areas to minimize the damage caused by roof leaks.
- Detailed inspection on the inside of the house and the attic. Traces of stains, peeling paint and moisture marks on your house ceiling are crystal-clear signs of roof leaks. The attic of your home may also host potential roof leaks. Presence of excess moisture on rafters or beams including molds and water stains can be used as leads to accurately source roof leaks.
Fixing Roof Leaks
Once the locations of roof leaks have been identified, our tradesmen will then perform either of the following remedies to put a definite end to the annoying roof leaks disturbing your peace at home:
- Apply a quick-drying silicone-based sealant on the roof leaks.
- Place a sheet of metal or lead flashing on the damaged roof tiles.
- Replace the roof tiles
- Replace the valley where it is leaking and rusted
- Repoint the ridge caps
- Unblock Downpipes and gutters
However, if the cause of roof leaks can be traced from gutter issues, the best thing to do is to clear out any debris off the gutter. Should there be any damage in some sections of the gutters, these sections should be repaired or replaced.
