Why Is My Roof Leaking?
Most roof leaks in Adelaide homes come back to a handful of causes. Water often shows up metres away from where it gets in, which is why guessing rarely works.
- Cracked or slipped tiles. One broken tile is enough to let water onto the sarking and into the ceiling.
- Worn ridge capping. The bedding and pointing along the ridge breaks down over the years and lets rain in under the caps.
- Rusted or lifted flashing. Flashing seals the joins around chimneys, vents, skylights and walls. Once it rusts or lifts, water follows.
- Blocked gutters and valleys. Leaves and debris back water up under the roof edge in heavy rain.
- Rusted sheets and tired screws. Older iron roofs rust at the laps and around the fixings.
- Box gutters and flat roofs. Low fall roofs hold water, so a small split soon becomes a steady drip.
