Leak Risk Profile
Fawkner Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Fawkner
After heavy rain, the typical pattern of water ingress is not a single dramatic leak but a series of small drips tracking along ceiling joists or insulation batts before appearing at a visible point. The stain on the ceiling is rarely directly below the entry point.
Why It Happens
Tile-to-tile contact at the lap is the primary waterproofing mechanism on a tiled roof — each tile overlaps the one below sufficiently to prevent water running uphill under the lap in normal rainfall. When tiles shift or are replaced with a different profile, that overlap geometry is compromised.
How We Fix It
Parapet flashing repairs involve exposing the flashing turn-down at the wall cap, re-setting it into a cut chase or under the wall cap mortar, and sealing with a UV-stable mastic. We don't seal over an existing flashing that has lost its mechanical engagement with the wall.
