With the most welcomed recent rains in Perth, you may notice certain water spots appearing, small stains. If you do, its a tell tale sign your roof may be the cause of this water damage.
To not only extend the life of your property’s roof and gutters, its a good practice to have your roof and gutters inspected and cleaned at the beginning of each winter and spring. This will uncover any damage that needs to be repaired. Fixing this damage will prevent leaks in your ceilings and walls and protect the foundations of your property.
A Leaky Roof Or Gutter
As mentioned, a water stain on a ceiling indicates a leak in your roof, or rain coming in under your eaves via a gutter that’s no longer doing its job. Your best next step is to make a call to Perth’s commercial and residential property maintenance company, NexGen Tradies and Handymen.
The company owner, Tony McEntee, will send you a roofing specialist to track down the origin of the leak, assess the extent of the damage, and provide you with a no-obligation estimate or fixed quote for the repairs. All materials are charged at cost and there is no call out fee.
Rain, hail and accumulated debris can cause breaks in tile or metal roofing and gutters can become clogged with leaves. A NexGen Tradies roofing specialist will find any problems and relay digital images of the damage to you. You won’t need to risk your neck climbing on the roof to see the condition of your roof and gutters.
Broken Plumbing Fixtures
Aside from damaged roofing and guttering, another way water can enter a building is via plumbing fixtures. The plastic, metal or rubber sections of plumbing can become worn or damaged, allowing water to run along the outside of the piping into the interior of your property. Often, this is why water stains will appear on a wall.
Dishwashers, Washing Machines
Apart from water leaks from damaged roofing and gutters, appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines have the potential to leak. Water and electricity are involved, and water on a floor is a slip hazard for the unwary.
Both appliances have plenty of parts inside them so they can be viewed as ‘prone to having leaks’.
A leaking dishwasher may have a problem with its gasket pump, spray arm, water inlet valve, hose or float. Calling NexGen Tradies is the quickest way to solve the issue. A specialist handyman will repair, clean or replace the malfunctioning part and have your machine up and running quickly at reasonable cost.
Similarly, when your washing machine begins to leak, if you don’t have handyman knowhow, you may not be able to find the cause. Pumps and hoses may be involved and if this is daunting for you, the most effective approach is to hire the right person to do the repair.
