Iron Roofs Repairs in Auckland
While corrugated iron rooves have some distinct advantages over other types of roofing materials, including lightweight composition, they can also be prone to rusting – especially given the changeable weather conditions we experience in the Auckland region.
Left untreated, rust can very quickly take hold, eroding large areas of your roof without being noticeable from the ground. Rust can also occur under the surface, leaving only the smallest telltale signs on your paintwork while rapidly causing unseen damage to your roofing materials.
When rust takes hold, it can be devastating to your roof, causing leaks, roof sag, structural damage, and destroying your insulation. If your iron roof is failing you could end up with a stained and discoloured ceiling, dangerous electrical fittings and rotten cladding.
General neglect and breakdown on your roof will not necessarily be covered by your insurance company, so it pays to be vigilant when it comes to keeping your iron roof in good repair through a process of regular inspections, maintenance and repairs.
Signs it’s time to call in the specialists
While rust is a clear sign that your iron roof needs repairs, there are other indications that your iron roof might need attention. Below are just a few.
Temperature Changes
If your iron roof is starting to show signs of neglect, damage or wear and tear, it may show up as temperature changes. If you have gaps, leaks or holes in your roof, your energy efficiency will drop - which can lead to extended costs for heating or cooling. Draughts when all your doors and windows are closed can also be a warning sign.
Loose Panels
If you can hear your roof rattling around on windy days, you may have loose runs. This could be due to storm damage, or it may be that your nails are rusting out or missing. Even one loose sheet can cause your iron roof to fail, and it’s dangerous to leave these as they can blow off and cause havoc in your neighbourhood - including injuries.
Discolouration
If you have patches of discolouration on your roof, it may be that water has made its way under your iron roofing materials. This can accelerate the growth of rust, cause unsightly damage, and ultimately damage the structure of your property.
There are many other signs that your roof is no longer protecting your property – book an inspection to get a comprehensive report.
