Leaks, rot and water damage repaired properly, by a Licensed Building Practitioner. Understand where your roof is failing, and what measures need to be taken to address the cause. A roof leak is rarely just a 'roof' problem. By the time you see a stain on the ceiling, water has usually been getting in for a sustained period of time. It can soak the insulation, sit on the ply or framing materials and deteriorate those parts that do a big job in keeping the roof sound.
Most roof repairs stop at the roof. Seal the flashing, swap a sheet, send the invoice.
BBG Built does it differently. We trace where the water is actually getting in, fix it with the right trades, then repair everything the leak has touched, rotten substrates and framing, wet insulation, ceilings and wall linings. One team, one point of contact, and a builder who knows what a weathertight roof junction should look like.
Signs your roof needs repairing
Roof leak repairs: what we fix
– Leak tracing. Finding where the water actually enters.
– Flashing and junction repairs. Valleys, apron and barge flashings, chimneys, skylights, pipe penetrations and roof-to-wall junctions, the places most leaks start.
– Re-pitching roofs to meet new manufacturers installation guidelines.
– Flat roof and membrane substrate repairs. Replacing rotten or delaminated ply under butynol and membrane roofs so the new membrane has something sound to bond to.
– Rotten roof framing. Rafters, purlins, sarking and fascia damaged by long-term leaks, assessed and replaced.
– Ceiling water damage repair. Wet insulation out, sagging or stained plasterboard replaced, stopped, painted and finished.
– Internal gutters and spouting. Blocked or failed internal gutters and overflows that push water back into the building.
Water has a skill of finding its way into the smallest of openings, so even areas not visible from the ground to the naked eye, can easily be missed.
– Water coming through during heavy or wind-driven rain
– Daylight or wet timber visible in the ceiling space
– Lifted, loose or missing roof sheets or tiles after a storm
– Rust, pitting or holes in roofing iron
– Popped nails or loose screws on the roof
– Cracked, slipped or broken tiles
– Damaged or lifted flashings around chimneys, skylights and vents
– Blistering, splitting or ponding water on a flat or membrane roof
– Overflowing or sagging gutters
– A sagging or uneven roofline
