The problem
Water was coming in at an exposed rafter in the unit’s living room, the ninth rafter from the front door.
The strata manager asked us to inspect the leak and repair it.
What we found
Our roofer went up the single-storey roof by step ladder and inspected the tiles above the living room.
The leak was coming from a cracked roof tile. About 10 more tiles on that side of the roof had smaller cracks or chips. They weren’t causing this leak, but they could cause leaks later.
What we did
- First visit: covered the cracked tile with Aquaflash, a flexible waterproof flashing, to keep water out until the permanent repair.
- Set up safety signage and used a fall restraint harness where needed.
- Replaced the cracked tile.
- Replaced about 10 more cracked and chipped tiles on the same side of the roof.
- Took photos of the work and removed the rubbish.
We made the leak safe on the first visit. The permanent repair was done three days after the strata approved it.
