What Is Roof Plumbing?
Roof plumbing involves the installation and repair of metal and polycarbonate roof sheeting, flashings, gutters, and downpipes to ensure efficient drainage of rainwater from the roof to the stormwater system.
If you encounter plumbing issues with sheet metal roofs, gutters, downpipes, or rainwater tanks, it’s best to call a plumber. For tiled roofs and cement pointing, a roof tiler is the appropriate professional to contact.
When Do Roof Leaks Occur?
The integrity of your roof can be challenged by hail, thunderstorms, heavy winds, and rain. Even a well-maintained roof can suffer damage from severe weather, but the most common cause of roof leaks is simply an old roof.
Rusting roofs or worn-out tiles need replacing to ensure proper stormwater drainage. In newer homes, blocked gutters and stormwater drains—often from tree debris, silt, and dirt—are common sources of leaks.
There are many causes of roof leaks that, if neglected, can lead to structural damage. If you’ve addressed the obvious issues and the problem persists, it’s time to call a professional.
How Do I Know If I Have a Roof Leak?
All roof leaks, regardless of size, can become significant problems if left unattended. Even small leaks can lead to issues like rotting insulation, mould, and ceiling damage.
While some leaks are easy to detect, such as water running down walls, others are harder to locate, with water sometimes appearing at a distance from the actual leak. Tackling roof leaks early minimises damage and the extent of required repairs. If you suspect a leak, have it checked immediately
