Queensland’s storm season isn’t a matter of if — it’s when.

Every summer, coastal homes are hit with high winds, torrential rain, and the occasional hailstorm. But while we prepare windows and gardens… most homeowners forget the most vulnerable part of their home: the roof.

Here’s why you should get your roof checked before storm season hits — not after the damage is done.

What Storms Do to Roofs in SE QLD

• Strong winds lift unsecured sheets or tiles
• Blocked gutters cause internal water leaks
• Broken pointing lets water under tiles or flashings
• Flying debris can crack roof surfaces
• Heavy rain finds its way through the smallest gaps

“Most storm damage we repair could’ve been prevented with a $0 inspection and a $300 fix.”

Top Pre-Storm Roof Risks to Check

• Loose or missing tiles
• Rusting metal sheets or screws
• Cracked ridge capping
• Blocked gutters or downpipes
• Unsealed flashing
• Deteriorated coating or membrane

These small issues become expensive emergencies once the rain hits.

The Cost of Waiting Until After the Storm

• Emergency callouts can double your cost
• Insurance may not cover pre-existing conditions
• Wet insulation, ceilings or walls cost thousands to repair
• Roof safety risks increase in wet/windy conditions
