hey guys, seems like roof leaks are common place today, but the best option is to always get a second or third opinion before you invest on your roof over your head.

I myself have recently fixed a few leaks form my roof issues, luckily my uncle and close family friend Mr Teh may be able to quote you and also give you a reasonable price, he has been doing this for the past 15 years, and only recently I have brought him to this new world of internet and websites ahaha . but If you are looking for good, cheap, cost effective and quality, then I suggest you give him a call, Mr Teh 012-6721130 Call/Wassap , no harm in just getting a quote at the end of the day the choice is still yours : ) cool2.gif

You can also view his recent website at (website omitted)

Thanks for those who support my uncle ya!

From what i have observed, there are 4 reasons for a roof leaking.  I'm sure there are more, but i think, these are the main ones:

1. Roof tiles mis-aligned. The wind blew and its not parallel anymore. As sure, the rain will leak through.

2. Roof tiles are broken. Water leaks through.

3. There is usually a galvanised iron (gi) or zinc sheet folded into an "L" between the wall and roof tiles. The gaps between the GI and wall are filled with silicon.  The silicon will last a few years afterwhich it will leak water in.

4. Roof profile often have different angles and edges. Where two roof tiles meet at an angle, typically there is a type of black oil wax paper (or something like that) to flow the water away, if this thingey is broken or torn, water will flow in.

Hope this gives you a better idea of why your house leaks.

You've pretty much nailed the common reasons behind 'em:

Tiles go wonky from the wind, and rain sneaks in.
Broken tiles? Yep, they're like leaky gates for water.
That silicon seal on the galvanized sheet gets tired and starts leaking.
Those black waxy paper things in the roof's nooks and crannies? When they're torn, water finds its way in.
If you ever have roof troubles or want to prevent 'em, Mr. Alex from Master Roof is the go-to guy. Reach him at 018-3788226

Learned so much from him, and just want to support him as he was the one who settled my roof leaks and hope he can guide you to the same direction as well. haha.
