Signs You Have a Roof Leak

Water stain on the ceiling: brown or yellow ring-shaped stain after rain. The stain is usually not directly below the entry point.
Active drip after rain
Damp insulation smell: musty smell from the ceiling space after rain
Mould on the ceiling that returns after cleaning

Common Causes of Roof Leaks

Failed flashing: seals the junction between the roof and vertical surfaces like chimneys, skylights and parapet walls. Most common cause we attend to in the Inner West.
Cracked or broken tiles: a single cracked tile allows water entry.
Blocked gutters and valleys: gutters not cleared properly direct water back under the eaves.
Skylight seal failure: water gets through around the frame, not through the glass.
Corroded pipe penetrations: rubber boots and flashing collars on plumbing pipes through the roof deteriorate over time.

What We Do

Roof plumbing is within a licensed plumber’s scope in NSW. We carry out:

Flashing repair and replacement
Blocked gutter and valley clearing
Broken roof tile replacement
Pipe penetration resealing
Temporary waterproofing to stop active leaks

Leichhardt and Balmain terraces with parapet walls and chimney stacks have higher flashing failure rates. One of our most common calls from these suburbs.
