Leaking Roof Repairs in Canberra

A roof leak might start as a small stain on the ceiling, but what is happening above is almost always worse than what you can see below. Water travels along battens, rafters, and sarking before it drips through, which means the entry point on your roof can be metres away from where the stain appears inside. The longer a leak goes untreated, the more damage it causes - to timber framing, insulation, plaster, and even electrical wiring.

Canberra's climate is particularly tough on roofs. Our freeze-thaw cycles crack mortar and lift tiles, hailstorms damage flashing and ridge capping, and heavy summer downpours test every weak point at once. We see a spike in leak calls every winter when frost-damaged roofs meet rain, and again after summer storms roll through from the Brindabellas.

We use systematic leak detection methods including water testing, visual inspection from inside the roof cavity, and assessment of known failure points for your roof type. Once we locate the source, we carry out a permanent repair - not a temporary patch. Every leak repair comes with our 5-year workmanship guarantee.
