When you look up at your gutters, what do you see? Like most, you hope you don’t spot any problems. Unfortunately, gutters have a way of wearing down over time. This is why it is so important to inspect them on a yearly basis.
With severe weather we have experienced, it is possible that twigs, branches, leaves and other debris could have ended up in your gutters. If your gutters are full, it could cause them to pull away from the roof. When that happens, you will see sheets of rain pouring down between the house and the gutters. Since your gutters and downspouts are the first line of defense against water finding a way into your home, if you suspect there may be a problem, have it checked out by a roofing professional as quickly as possible.
You would think that repairs would generally be easier than installing a new roof – well sometimes they are – but often they can be very tricky indeed. Most are temporary in nature but they can be done properly.
Fibre cement sheeting was a very popular roofing material for a long time in Sydney and all over Australia until it was discovered that it can kill you. For this reason, you really need responsible professionals to remove and dispose of it correctly.
Australian wet season is three months of nearly non-stop drizzles, and since it’s virtually impossible to repair your roof while it’s raining, you’re pretty much stuck.
There are some warning signs you should keep an eye out for that will alert you to the fact that your guttering may need to be repaired, cleaned or replaced. If any of these signs are present, it’s time to call in your roof repairs team.
When installing a roof on a new home or doing re-roofing on your current structure, there are few roads that you can go down. While you may have heard of roofing professionals, have you heard of roof plumbing?
