Leak Risk Profile
Ballan Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Ballan
Flashing at wall junctions — where the roof abuts a parapet, chimney, or change in building plane — is consistently the highest-risk area for water ingress on brick homes. The step-flashing system on older homes deteriorates at the mortar joints and the first failure gives water a direct path into the wall.
Why It Happens
Lead flashings fail through fatigue — repeated thermal movement over decades works the lead at fold lines until it cracks. Lead has a low fatigue life at bending points and eventually fails mechanically rather than through corrosion. Sealant-only repairs don't address this mechanism.
How We Fix It
Temporary roof tarping is available for properties where the permanent repair cannot be completed on the same day — storm damage, large area damage, or heritage materials that need to be sourced. The tarp is mechanically fixed over battens, not loose-laid or weighted.
