Leak Risk Profile
Strathmore Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Strathmore
Cracked tiles on a pitched roof are typically not visible from the ground — the crack is too small to see at street level. Walking the roof is the only reliable way to locate them, which is why a leak repair needs to start with a full physical inspection.
Why It Happens
A cracked tile fails in tension — the bending stress from a point load (foot traffic, hail, falling debris) exceeds the tensile strength of the tile material and it fractures. The crack is typically a mid-span fracture that extends from the underside of the tile upward.
How We Fix It
Box gutter repairs start with a full debris clear, then an assessment of membrane condition and outlet capacity. On membranes that are physically intact but have failed at junctions, we apply a reinforced membrane patch over the junction before recoating.
