Roof Leak’s & Locating Them

Here are several tips when trying to find roof leaks around the home:

1. Find where all the gutter and roofing sealant has been applied around the roofing and gutters. These section are very common areas for roof leaks. The silicon and roofing sealant that is generally used has a lifespan of a few years. In South Australia the weather is harsh during the winter and summer months which causes the silicon to break down or peel away from the joins on the roofs and guttering
2. Inspect the roofing and guttering for rust and any other object that may have caused a hole in the gutters or on the roof. Quite often gum tree’s drop large heavy branches which can crack tiles and puncture metal roofing sheets.
3. Locate all the additional fixtures that have been added to the roofing such as air vents, air-conditioners and roofing vents. The flashing around these fixtures have usually been sealed with silicone and are prone to movement causing cracking and general wear and tear to the sealants.
4. One of the most common causes of roof leaks are blocked up gutters and down-pipes, so make sure that they have been cleaned properly, including the roofing valleys running up the roofing corners.
