Is Your Roof Ready for Melbourne’s Mood Swings? A New Year Prep Guide!

Share

Melbourne weather is notorious for its unpredictable nature. Scorching sun one day, torrential downpours the next – it’s tough being a roof in this city! But with a little TLC, you can ensure your roof is ready for whatever Melbourne throws its way in the new year. Here’s your essential checklist:

1. The Post-Holiday Clean Up:

  • Gutters and Downpipes: Leaves, debris, and even stray Christmas decorations can clog your gutters, leading to water damage. Clear them out to ensure free-flowing drainage.
  • Roof Surface: Remove any accumulated leaves, branches, or other debris. This prevents moisture build-up and potential rot.

2. Inspection Time:

  • Tiles: Look for any cracked, missing, or damaged tiles. Early replacement can prevent leaks and bigger problems down the line.
  • Flashing: Check the flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights for any signs of wear and tear. Seal any gaps or cracks with roof sealant.
  • Sagging: Is your roofline looking a bit…droopy? Sagging can indicate structural issues that need immediate attention from a professional.

3. Trimming Troubles:

Overhanging branches can scratch your roof, provide access for pests, and cause damage during storms. Trim back any branches that are getting too close for comfort.

4. Professional Eye:

Even if you’re a DIY enthusiast, consider getting a professional roof inspection this year, especially in Melbourne’s demanding climate. They can spot potential issues you might miss and advise on necessary repairs.

5. Think Ahead:

  • Solar Panels: If you’re considering solar, the new year is a great time to get it sorted. Ensure your roof is in good condition before installation.
  • Insulation: Proper insulation is key to keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient year-round. Check your roof insulation and top it up if needed.
