Water Damage Below The Roof
- Rotten fascias. Overflowing gutters soak the fascia from behind until it softens and gutters sag.
- Sagging gutters. Brackets pull out of rotten timber, so gutters lose their fall and overflow more.
- Stained or bulging ceilings. Water pooling on ceiling boards weighs them down and can bring them down.
- Wet insulation. Soaked insulation loses its value and holds moisture against the ceiling.
- Damp wall tops. Water running down inside the wall plate shows as damp at cornice level.
Mention every damaged element so quotes cover roof, fascias, gutters and ceilings together.
Compare Ferndale QuotesRoof Repairs Ferndale: Fix In The Right Order
The order matters. Fix the roof leak and gutter overflow first, replace rotten fascias so new gutters have something solid to fix to, then let the roof space dry out before ceilings and cornices are replaced. Doing the ceiling first, or hanging new gutters on old timber, tends to mean paying for the same work twice. Fibre-cement or PVC fascias cost a little more than timber but do not rot, which is worth considering where the old boards failed from water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my fascia boards rotting?
Usually water from overflowing or leaking gutters soaking them from behind.
Timber or fibre-cement fascias?
Timber is cheaper and needs painting. Fibre-cement and PVC cost more but do not rot.
Can gutters be refitted to old fascias?
Only if the fascia is sound. Fixing new gutters to soft timber means they sag again.
When can ceilings be repaired after a leak?
Once the roof is fixed and the roof space has dried out, usually a week or two.
Does insurance cover water-damaged ceilings?
Sudden storm damage often is, gradual leaks generally are not. Check your policy.
What does fascia replacement cost?
Typically R220 to R550 per metre depending on material.
Is a bulging ceiling dangerous?
It can be. Keep people out of the room and have water released and the leak stopped promptly.
