Can a leaky roof cause more damage?

A leaking roof can lead to extensive damage internally resulting in costly repair bills. Calling out roofing specialists will test and isolate the cause of the leak then following consultation with you and perform the necessary repairs effectively.

Communication pre visit was excellent. Yarra Valley water representative said that the problem was on our property and that you should have fixed it. We’re unsure about that and pleased that it was fixed promptly.

George came; did my work quietly and respectfully. Noted a problem (big gaping crack in the pipe under the bench), and asked if we would like to change it. No pressure applied, and just added it to his list when I gave the go ahead. Would use this company again and again.
