Leak Risk Profile
Lower Plenty Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Lower Plenty
Original valley iron on pre-1980 builds was plain mild steel or early galvanised sheet. In Melbourne's climate, that material has typically reached end of service life — it corrodes from beneath, which means the top surface can still look intact while the bottom face is through-corroded.
Why It Happens
Chimney back-gutters carry the entire catchment of the roof above the chimney. When blocked by debris or corroded through, the water volume backs up against the chimney flashing and enters at the first available joint — typically the step flashing mortar beds.
How We Fix It
Where we identify a systemic issue behind a single-point repair — widespread valley iron corrosion across a roof where only one valley has failed visibly — we provide a staged scope: the immediate repair and a recommended timeline for the wider remediation.
