"Is my roof asbestos?" It's one of the most common questions Brisbane homeowners ask, and it matters most when the roof starts leaking.
Early signs of a roof leak to watch for:
• Brown rings or staining on the ceiling
• Paint bubbling or peeling near the cornices
• A musty smell or mould spots after rain
• Damp insulation or drip marks in the roof space
• Cracked, chipped or lifted sheets or tiles you can see from the ground
The earlier a leak is caught, the smaller the repair tends to be. Left alone, water soaks the ceiling, mould sets in and the job grows.
If your home was built before 1990, the roof sheeting, eaves or ceilings may contain asbestos, and you can't tell just by looking. A sample has to be tested by a NATA-accredited lab. Until it's checked, don't drill, cut, pressure wash or walk on an old fibro roof.
We find the leak, check for asbestos and mould, and handle roof leak repairs, reseals and WorkSafe QLD licensed asbestos removal across Brisbane and Moreton Bay. 24/7.
