Why is my roof leaking?
When too much water enters your building, there can be costly and ongoing problems if not repaired promptly. There are multiple reasons why you may have a leak in your roof and need to find a roof plumber in Perth. Cracked flashings, broken shingles (shingles are a type of roof covering), poor initial installation and condensation is apparent in areas of the property – are all common reasons as to why you are experiencing roof leaks. This applies to both residential and commercial roofing.
Depending on the amount of water and the level of damage caused by your roof leak or leaks, you may be able to see:
Damp patches in your ceiling
Damp patches often are obvious and are a different colour to the ceiling colour. Most extensive damp patches also have a wet damp smell.
Sagging in parts of your roof

Warped roof beams
