We can fix your roof leak today!
Fixing roof leaks requires a lot of knowledge and prior experience. The team at HIT Plumbing have extensive experience in locating and rectifying roof leaks in both tiled and metal roofing throughout Brisbane & the Gold Coast.
Tiled roof houses built in the 80’s and 90’s are most prone to roof leaks as they generally don’t have sarking, which is a plastic protective barrier that sits between the roof frame and the tiles. Even with sarking roof leaks can still occur.
Tiled roofing requires maintenance with resealing and repointing sometimes necessary to help keep your roof water tight.
Metal roofing can also leak through the fixing points, joins in sheets and the valleys and ridges. They can also have holes or damage created by mother nature that allows water in.
Roof Leak Identification
Leak identification is the first step in rectifying a leak. Once the leak cause is identified then a plan can be created to fix the issue for the long term.
