A poorly maintained roof means you don’t get protection from heat or cold, you don’t have a stable living environment, and….
Roof leaks.
Roofing is one of the most important investments for your home, yet it is one of the most overlooked areas.
Your roofing is exposed to various weather conditions, and roof leaks significantly affect your overall roof’s performance.

Metal roof sealants are installed with your metal roofing. However, you can’t use them as a permanent leak fixer and they need to be properly applied by experts.
That’s why it is important to have a metal roofing contractor conduct regular checks up and maintenance, especially in areas that use sealants, like flashings and around roof transitions.
High-quality metal roof sealant is a must to ensure that your roof will last and remain strong, durable, and flexible.
Properly driven metal roofing screws usually keep water from leaking in your metal roof.
Metal roofing screws should perfectly fit with your rubber washers, forming a gasket that is firmly compressed against your roofing surface.
Driving metal screws at the wrong angle will usually allow water to penetrate your metal roofing.
Improperly driven roofing screws can also look like:
These types of improperly driven screw positions are one of the main sources of roof leaks.
Older roofing as well as inferior or poor quality roofing will eventually rust.
Rust can then dissolve parts of your roof, creating cracks and gaps which then allow water to enter your home.
Watermaster Roofing chooses to work with only the most reputable, high-quality roofing materials, including COLORBOND roofing, crafted to the best standards to withstand even the harshest weather conditions.
Stack flashings, just like roof sealants, have a lifespan. Flashings are installed at vents or pipes which form seals around them.
Since flashings are made up of rubberised material, when your metal roof expands due to heat and other weather conditions, the stack flashings will usually squeeze, causing your metal roof to contract and test the seals of your flashings.
Replacing worn-out or rotten flashings through regular maintenance is one of the best things that you can do for your roofing to avoid water damage caused by leaks.
Leak prone areas in your metal roofing can be quite difficult to detect, especially if you don’t have any idea where to look.
Our roofing team can perform an in-depth analysis which starts with a visual inspection where we look at:
Inspecting these tedious parts yourself can be dangerous, so it’s best to always rely on a professional for this in-depth assessment.
Your metal roof is vulnerable and exposed to almost all weather conditions; that’s why it is important to schedule annual or bi-annual metal roofing maintenance.
Doing so will prolong the life of your metal roof from any unexpected roof repairs and damages that will incur a cost from roofing repairs and replacements.
No matter how old or how new your metal roofing is, roof inspections and maintenance can keep you from worrying about metal roofing leaks.
