When Do You Need A Roof Plumber?

Most people don’t seek assistance from a roof plumber until it’s too late! Why? Because roof maintenance isn’t the first thing most people think of when it comes to keeping your home in great condition. Beyond installations for new homes, roof plumbers also play a role in maintaining and repairing your home’s roof.

A roof plumber is needed for a range of services in your home, and O’Boyles can provide all of them and more.

Why Do Plumbers Need To Get To The Roof?

Have you ever heard of the term ‘stormwater plumber’? This is an alternative name for the services a roof plumber can provide. This involves any drainage system for water on your roof, which can collect from heavy rain. The maintenance of downpipes, gutters and drainage systems are all under a roof plumber’s expertise and services.

There are many reasons why a plumber would need access to your roof. For example, if you’re building a new home, you will need a roofing contractor and roof plumber during the construction phase. In this process, they provide the design and installation of your drainage system, detailing and everything to do with your downpipes, gutters and water disposal systems.

Another reason a plumber may need access to your roof is to maintain your vent stacks. Around your home, your sinks, toilets and tubs are connected to vent stacks on your roof to ensure water drains quickly and don’t clog. If you notice your drains are glugging down instead of draining rapidly, it could be because a vent stack is blocked with mud, moss or other debris, causing issues.

When Would You Need A Plumber For Your Roof?

If you’ve already got all your drainage systems, vent stacks, and roof installed correctly, then the other reason you may need a roof plumber is to maintain and repair any systems that degrade with age. A roof plumber is your solution if you have blocked gutters and pipes or own a leaking rainwater tank.

Some of the services a roof plumber can provide for you include:

Gutter Repairs and Replacements
Gutters and downpipes are essential to the health of your roof. If they are blocked or broken, you risk leaks and damage to your house.
