Is Your Roof Letting Water In?

A brown stain creeping across the ceiling, water dripping into a bucket during a storm or a musty smell in one room all mean water is getting in somewhere. The hard part is working out where, because a ceiling stain rarely sits right under the actual leak.

Water can run down the roof sheets or along the framing before it drips through, so the source might be a few metres away. The longer it goes on, the more chance of stained plaster, sagging ceilings and damp spreading into the room below.

  • Stains or damp patches on the ceiling
  • Drips that only appear in heavy or wind-driven rain
  • A leak that came back after an earlier repair
  • Water marks near a roof window, chimney or wall

Find the Leak and Fix It at the Source

We start on the roof, not the ceiling. Flashings around walls, chimneys and roof windows, worn fixings, laps between sheets and overflowing gutters are the usual suspects, and we work through them until we find where the water is getting in.

Then we fix the cause, whether that means resealing a flashing, replacing a damaged one or replacing the affected sheets with new Colorbond. If the roof has reached the point where repairs won't hold, we'll tell you honestly and talk you through your options.

With more than 15 years in the roof plumbing industry, we've seen most of the ways a metal roof lets water in. That means less guesswork on your roof and fewer surprises the next time it rains.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We look at the roof itself, starting with the places metal roofs most often let water in: flashings, roof windows, fixings, sheet laps and gutters. Because water can travel before it drips through, the source is often some distance from the stain, so it helps if you can tell us where and when the water appears.

  • It depends on what is causing the leak and what needs fixing. A resealed flashing costs less than a replaced one, and replacing rusted sheets costs more again. Roof height and access also play a part. Contact us for a free quote.

  • Catch the water with a bucket or towels and move furniture and belongings away from the drip. Keep clear of any light fittings or power points that are wet, and please don't climb onto the roof yourself, especially when it's raining.

  • Yes. A leak that keeps coming back usually means the earlier repair treated the symptom rather than the source. We look for where the water is actually getting in and repair that.

  • Leaks in several places, especially on an older roof with rust across the sheets, can be a sign the roof is near the end of its life. In that case replacing it may cost less over time than repeated repairs. See our Old & Rusted Metal Roof Replacement page for more.
