Most homeowners don’t associate the word “plumbing” with the word “roof”. But they should.

The Dangers of Uncontrolled Runoff
Most people are blissfully unaware of the power of water. But water is one of the most persistent and destructive forces on earth. And just as sure as a bit of water carved the Grand Canyon so too will it make short work of your house if it is not handled properly. Uncontrolled runoff from the roof can deposit vast amounts of water next to the house where it will undermine the integrity of the foundation and, ultimately, the integrity and value of your home.
Roof plumbing services then are essential for staying ahead of:
- Leaks in the roof.
- Erosion around the periphery of the house.
- Damage to the foundation, walkways and driveway.
- The growth and spread of potentially dangerous molds.
For all these reasons and more it is essential that gutters, downspouts, roof flashing and more are properly installed and properly maintained. Failing to do so can have catastrophic structural consequences for your home and lead to you and your loved ones developing serious health problems.
Fixing Leaks in the Roof
Roof leaks can cause untold damage if not properly addressed. Roof leaks can undermine the insulation in the roof and spill onto the floor of the attic damaging the ceiling underneath. Water can seep down the walls of your home, destroying drywall and plywood, damaging wires and causing dangerous short circuits. In time, the water can cause the framing of the house to rot which will require extremely expensive repair work. Failure to address these problems could render your home essentially worthless. Prevent that from happening by calling Ayan emergency roof plumbing services to promptly fix roof leaks.
Roofing Repair Flashing Problems
Flashings extend from dormers, chimneys and vents out under the shingles or roofing tiles. They prevent water from leaking down through the tiny openings around these features. If the flashing is old or has sustained storm damage it can allow water through and create some or all of the problems listed above. Prompt repair or replacement of old or damaged flashing is essential to fending off expensive long term problems.
Environmental Responsibility
The planet we all share is not getting any bigger, but it is getting more crowded. This means we need to do a better job utilizing the resources at our disposal. Installing a tank to collect rainwater is an environmentally responsible thing to do that will provide long term financial and environmental benefits. A rainwater tank can provide you with all the water you need for watering the garden and washing the car. It can even be hooked up to the plumbing system in your house to provide water for the laundry or the toilets. You’ll save a lot of money in the long run and you’ll be doing your part to make the future a little brighter for generations to come. Only a fully qualified roof plumber like Ayan Roof Plumbers in Melbourne are licensed to handle such an installation.
In Melbourne Roof Plumbing is Not DIY Work
While the urge to take repair matters into your own hands is understandable and even commendable, there are nonetheless some things that should be left to the professionals. Roof plumbers are licensed for a reason. Because the work is exacting and dangerous. In addition, if you take on roof plumbing tasks yourself you could incur the wrath of your insurance company who may increase your premiums or refuse to compensate for later water damage because this vital work was not carried out by a qualified professional. Don’t take chances with the integrity of your home. For state of the art emergency roof plumbing services call the #1 roof plumbers in Melbourne: Ayan Plumbing.
