7 Signs You Need a New Roof in Adelaide

Most roofs give warning before they fail. These are the signs that it is time to get a roofer out.

Water stains on ceilings or walls are the clearest signal, and they often appear well away from the actual leak. Cracked, slipped or missing tiles let water in and tend to spread once they start.

Sagging in the roof line points to a structural or moisture problem and should be looked at quickly. Crumbling mortar along the ridge caps means the pointing has failed, which is common on older Adelaide tile roofs.

Rust or visible holes on a metal roof, daylight showing through the roof space, and a sudden jump in energy bills from lost insulation value all point the same way.

One or two of these usually means a repair or restoration. Several at once, especially sagging or widespread tile damage, usually means it is time to budget for a replacement.
