Homeowner Roof Plumbing Checklist

Fix leaks early to avoid expensive damage to fascias, eaves, ceilings, timber trusses and battens. Use this checklist to decide when to call a licensed roof plumber.

🧭 Gutters & Fascia

Sagging/backfall, water pooling, or overflow in normal rain
Rust at joints, staining on fascia/eaves
Brackets pulling or misaligned

If left too long: water damages fascias, eaves and ceilings.

📦 Box Gutters & Valleys

No visible overflow provision or undersized outlets
Debris build‑up, ceiling stains after heavy rain
Water marks on internal walls or soffits

If left too long: saturates insulation and timber battens/trusses.

🧱 Flashings & Penetrations

Loose screws, short overlaps, aged/cracked sealant
Skylight/chimney flashings not seated or tucked
Tile→metal transitions without tray/weep path

If left too long: leaks track into cavities and ceilings.

⬇️ Downpipes & Stormwater

Discharging onto ground or another roof surface
Too few downpipes for roof area; gurgling noises
Movement at joints or brackets pulling from walls

If left too long: backflow undermines footings; damages fascia/eaves/internal timbers.
