Roof and Gutters

​

When it comes to guttering or roof issues, most of us don’t think of plumbers. But in Queensland, you need a plumbing license for performing any sort of plumbing or drainage work – roof plumbing comes under this. All plumbing work associated with roofs, gutters, and down pipes come under ‘roof plumbing’. However, the roof coverings themselves, made of concrete, non-metallic tiles, timber etc. are installed and repaired by roofers.

 

During the process of construction of a new house, you may need a roof plumber for a variety of jobs, including:

 

Roof leaks

Roof leaks can cause foundation and property erosion, and mould and mildew problems. For this reason, proper gutter cleaning, repairing, fitting gutter guards and installing mesh coverings to prevent accumulation of leaves and other debris in gutters become very important. Fixing leaks or blockage in storm water down pipes is also the responsibility of plumbers.

 

Fixing roof leaks

Roof leaks can be very expensive if not caught in time. If your roof leak is caused due to gutter blocks or improper storm water drainage, A-List Plumbing is the person to call. Preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid roof leaks with seasonal roof and gutter cleaning an essential step.

 

Roof flashing repairs

Roof flashing is used to prevent water from entering the roof structure by creating a weather barrier. These are used around chimneys, skylights or other roof penetrations to make it watertight. If flashing is not installed properly, it causes leaks and also might result in damage to your tiles.
