Extreme Weather In Melbourne Has Caused Hidden Roof Damage

Melbourne – The recent severe weather in Melbourne has produced an extraordinary

amount of rainfall and flooding. After ten years of drought, inspections are showing that

more than 42% of all homes have some kind of roof “problems," according to

Archicentre-building and inspection experts.

These problems can be relatively minor looking, such as clogged gutters and

downpipes that have leaves, branches and other debris backing up the runoff of the

rain. Other concerns are broken roof tiles, loose ridges and valley tiles which can lead

to leaks and hidden water damage. A big concern with roofs that are not maintained

can void some insurance policies, leaving the home owner to pay the full cost of

repairs.

Regular inspections and maintenance by a roof restoration expert can avoid a lot of

headaches in the end.

“Even corrugated iron can become loose at the corners, and can also begin to rust

which creates small unnoticeable holes, capable of causing large leaks that can turn

into costly repairs if left undone,” according to a spokesperson for Kanga Roof

Restoration, http://roofrestorationmelbourne.com.au.

Chimney damage is easier to spot, but water damage inside the roof space cannot be

seen, causing roof restoration repairs to become more involved. But early roof

inspection from a reliable Melbourne roofing team, such as Kanga Roof Restoration

can often reduce costs with early and preventive repairs.

“Roof restorations require careful handling by a professional roofing contractor. We

strongly believe in the quality of our roof restorations that we offer our customers. We

Restoration spokesperson stated.
