Top 3 Causes of Roofs & Gutter Leaks in Adelaide

1. The most common cause of dripping gutters and roof leaks is a blocked up downpipe. This is by far the most common reason why water leaks occur from the roofing and guttering. All to often the guttering is reasonably clean but the downpipe has been blocked up by a plastic bag or a tennis ball. Taking a quick look at the downpipe around the water leak will determine if this is the cause of any roof leaks in that particular section of the home.

2. The second common cause of water leaks around the home is gutters and downpipes that need cleaning. When the gutters have not been cleaned for a while and tree debris has built up in the guttering, this will often cause water leaks to start happening from that particular part of the gutters. Getting gutter cleaning services and keeping the gutters cleaned on a regular basis is the best way to prevent water leaks caused by clogged up guttering around your home.

3. Rusted roofing sheet or a broken roof tile is the 3rd most common cause of roof leaks around residential homes in Adelaide, South Australia. We can replace roof sheets and broken tiles on residential and commercial properties in Adelaide, South Australia.
