The cause
Why Roofs Leak
A roof leak usually comes down to one of three things. Knowing which tells us how to fix it.
- 01
Wear
Roofing materials age and break down, and small gaps open up where water can get in.
- 02
Damage
Wind and storms lift, crack or shift parts of the roof and let water through.
- 03
Installation
Sometimes the problem goes back to how the roof, or part of it, was put on.
Why it matters
Don't Wait for the Next Storm
Unlike most damage around a home, a leaking roof can, and will, spread: into ceilings, insulation and framing.
Left long enough, it can affect the stability of the structure and lead to mould. The moment you notice a leak is the time to get it looked at.

Roof Leak Repairs Across the Illawarra
We're based in the Illawarra and work across Wollongong every week, from the northern suburbs down through Shellharbour and Kiama, and along the South Coast from Cronulla to Nowra and the Southern Highlands.
How do I know my roof is leaking?
Water stains or bubbling paint on a ceiling, drips after rain, damp or mouldy patches in the corners of a room, and a musty smell in the roof space are the usual signs.
Can you find where the water is getting in?
Yes. We offer roof leak detection as well as repairs. The drip inside is often some distance from where the water gets through the roof, so we trace it back first.
Do you repair storm and wind damage?
Yes. We repair wind damage and moisture damage, as well as leaks from wear or an underlying installation problem.
What should I do while it's leaking?
Catch the water, move anything valuable away and keep people clear of a wet or sagging ceiling. Then call us on 0432 685 338.
Can you stop it happening again?
Where we can, yes. Along with the repair, we look for anything likely to cause the next leak and suggest preventative work.
Tell Us Where It's Leaking.
A photo of the stain or drip inside, and one of the roof if you can take it safely from the ground, helps Paul work out what's going on.
