Roof Leak Repairs in Mandurah
A wet ceiling tells you where water arrived inside. It does not always tell you where it entered the roof.
Service focus
Trace roof leaks and repair the failed tile, ridge, flashing or valley detail causing them.
On a tiled roof, water can enter through a cracked or displaced tile, deteriorated pointing, a ridge detail, a flashing or a valley. It may then track along roof components before appearing inside. That is why a repair should start with the likely entry path instead of covering the internal stain and hoping the leak stops.
Shane handles broken tiles, ridge caps, valleys and repointing as well as roof leaks. Any of those details can let water in some distance from the stain inside. The repair depends on what has failed and how much of the surrounding roof is affected.
When you make contact, explain which room or ceiling area is affected, when the leak appears, whether it followed wind-driven rain, and how long it has been happening. Include safe ground-level photos if they show a damaged tile or ridge. Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof to collect evidence.

Roof Leak Repairs FAQ
Questions before you call.
Is the leak directly above the ceiling stain?
Not always. Water can travel before it becomes visible inside, so the roof entry point needs to be checked rather than assumed.
Can a single broken tile cause a leak?
It can. The surrounding tiles and roof detail should also be checked so the repair addresses the actual water-entry path.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Send the property suburb, where the leak is showing, when it started and any safe ground-level photos.
