    Does Your Roof Need Repairing After Cyclone Alfred?

    Cyclone Alfred, though downgraded to a category low as it crossed the Queensland coast, still packed a powerful punch, causing localised severe damage to homes and properties across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. Now that Ex Tropical Cyclone Alfred has moved past South East Queensland, residents are beginning to assess and repair the damage left behind.

    How Did Your Roof Hold Up?

    When extreme weather hits, your roof is your home’s first line of defense. Even a relatively mild cyclone can cause substantial damage such as:

    • Roof leaks and water damage: Heavy rainfall can expose vulnerabilities in roofing structures, leading to leaks that may damage ceilings, walls, and internal furnishings.

    • Broken or dislodged tiles: Powerful winds can dislodge or crack roof tiles, creating gaps that compromise the roof’s integrity.

    • Damaged gutters and flashing: Gutters and flashing are particularly vulnerable during storms, potentially leading to serious water ingress and structural damage.

       

    What Should You Do Next?

    After the cyclone has passed, it’s essential to safely inspect your roof for visible signs of damage. If you notice leaks, displaced tiles, damaged gutters, or any signs of internal water damage, it’s critical to address these issues quickly to prevent further harm to your property.
