    Professional Leak Detection For Your Roof

    A roof leak doesn’t just stay in one spot. It travels along rafters and beams, soaking into your insulation and eventually ruining your plasterboard or electrical circuits. If you can see a water stain on your ceiling, the damage is already happening behind the scenes.

    I don’t just “patch” a hole with silicone. I find the true source, a failed plumbing vent, a rusted valley, or a blocked box gutter, to ensure your home is actually watertight before the next heavy rain hits.

    Common Roof Leaks & Our Specialist Fixes

    The coastal weather in the Illawarra is tough on your roof. Salt air and heavy downpours can quickly overwhelm a system that isn’t maintained. I don’t just “patch” leaks; I identify the failure point and provide a permanent roof plumbing solution:

    FAILED FLASHING

    & SEALS

    The seals around your vent pipes, skylights, and chimneys are usually the first entry point for water. I repair or replace lead and metal flashing to ensure a watertight seal.

    BLOCKED OR RUSTED VALLEYS

    When a valley gutter rusts through or becomes clogged with debris, it funnels rainwater directly into your ceiling. I specialise in full valley gutter replacements.

    BOX GUTTER & PARAPET ISSUES

    These internal gutters often overflow into the home when they are undersized or neglected. I provide expert servicing for these high-risk drainage points.

    SUMPS &
    RAINHEADS

    If your flat or low-pitched roof is pooling water, I install and service high-capacity rainheads to move water off your roof faster.

    Gutter & Downpipe Specialists

    GUTTER REPLACEMENTS

    Installing high-quality, corrosion-resistant gutters suited for coastal air.

    DOWNPIPE REPAIRS

    Ensuring water actually reaches the stormwater system instead of pooling at your home’s base.

    GUTTER MAINTENANCE

    Clearing blockages and checking the “fall” to ensure water actually drains correctly toward the stormwater.

    Why Illawarra Homeowners Trust Jones & Co.

    Living on the coast means your roof takes a beating from the salt air, so I don’t cut corners on the parts I use. I select materials specifically designed to last in suburbs like Wollongong and Shellharbour, where standard products usually rust out in half the time. As a licensed plumber, I focus on the primary drainage systems that keep your home dry, ensuring every repair is solid and compliant. If your leak is storm-related, I’ll also provide the clear photos and professional reports you need to get your insurance claim sorted without the usual back-and-forth.

    Roof & Gutter FAQs

    If the leak is coming from your gutters, downpipes, valley gutters, or the flashing around plumbing vent pipes, it is a roof plumbing job. Most residential leaks in the Illawarra are water-management issues that fall under a plumbing license. If the problem is purely structural, such as timber or tiles, I’ll be upfront and refer you to a local roofer.

    For safety and quality reasons, I don’t climb on roofs during active storms or high winds. Permanent repairs require a dry surface to ensure that sealants and flashing bond correctly. Once the weather clears, I can perform a thorough inspection and a long-term fix.

    This is usually a “fall” or “grade” problem. If a gutter isn’t angled correctly toward the downpipe, water pools in the low spots and spills over the edge during heavy rain. I check the levels of your gutters to ensure they actually drain toward the stormwater system.

    Many insurance policies cover “sudden and accidental” damage caused by storms. While every policy is different, I provide the clear photos and professional reports your insurer needs to assess the damage and process your claim without the usual back-and-forth.

    If you notice water marks on the ceiling, specifically around a skylight, chimney, or plumbing vent pipe, the flashing has likely cracked or pulled away. These are the most common entry points for water, and catching them early prevents the timber in your roof cavity from rotting.
