Roof Waterproofing Sydney

Waterproofing your roof begins by enhancing your current roof's structure and repairing any apparent damages, including holes, cracks, and gaps that have appeared. When your roof has natural wear and tear or damages that aren't addressed, water can easily begin to seep in and leak through your home. It can damage concrete, hardwood floors, carpet, and drywall, leaving behind unwanted discoloration and foul smells. Too much water can also lead to mould. We can also install a waterproof membrane that serves as a barrier between your roof and your home's interiors to prevent water.

 

Gutters

Having a functioning gutter system will drastically improve your roof’s ability to combat water and deter it away from your home. Without gutters, the water that falls from rain can easily accumulate near the top of your roof and pool around the base, leading to flooding or erosion. To prevent this, you’ll need a durable gutter system that can push water away from the roof, through a downspout, and into the nearby drain.

 

Fascias

Fascias are installed on the side of the roof’s edge to assist water in dropping off and preventing it from leaking underneath. Fascias help give better structure to your gutter and downspouts, allowing them more balance to filter water away from your home and into the nearby drains. Fascias can also add style and beauty to your home’s exterior, giving your roof the completed look and ultimate protection. Without a fascia, water can easily trickle or drip off the edges at a slower pace without effectively pushing the water away from the roof. A fascia is one of the many steps to waterproofing your roof efficiently and is available for angled or flat roofs.

 

Soffits

Combined with a durable fascia, your soffit is designed to prevent water from building up underneath the area roof in the gap between the roof’s edge and the side of the home. This is a common area where pests have a tendency to take refuge and enjoy the dark and damp conditions that the moisture can bring in. Soffits will fill in those gaps and prevent pests from coming in and setting up base in those areas, as well as deter water from accumulating in the gaps and creating a nesting ground for unwelcomed guests. We can help with the installation of soffits and lock them in place with your fascia to offer further protection to your home’s roof.

 

Siding

Your home’s siding is also vital because it protects the exteriors of the house from succumbing to water damages. Siding can be made of fibre cement, vinyl, hardwood, and even aluminium. These materials are designed to prevent such damages and add to your home’s structural durability. The siding is installed upwards and all along the edges of the home’s infrastructure, blocking water from coming in directly into your home. With quality siding, a durable fascia, and a reliable soffit to line the exteriors of your home, you’ll be on your way to protecting it from flooding and water damages in no time – and we’re here to offer our assistance and professional feedback on the best ways to continually waterproof your roof!
