Damage Assessment damage 'Keeping a roof over your head' is a cliché for a reason. It's the essential description of safety, security and stability. So what happens when that protection is compromised by roof damage? Whatever you do, don't rest on your laurels. Delay can cause anxiety for you and your family while dealing with leaks, plaster damage or exposure to the weather. It can also have a serious effect on your bank balance. Act fast and call a roof plumber to avoid financial discomfort. What causes roof damage? There are two main causes of roof damage; an act of nature or human error. Acts of nature such as thunderstorms or hail can wreak havoc on roofs and broken tiles can cause leaks. Falling trees can also cause damage and the scale can go from minor to catastrophic. Depending on whether it's a branch or a trunk - and its proximity to your house - you could be dealing with a broken roof tile or a tree in your living room. Nature's little creatures can create a problem with your roof, too. Birds' nests in gutters can interfere with roof plumbing and rats or possums can nibble on electrical wiring or leave droppings in insulation or roof trusses. Roof damage can also be a result of human error. A service technician walking on your roof to fix a broken antenna can break or dislodge a tile. What should I do when my roof is damaged?
