Stay on the ground
Contain interior moisture
Photograph initial evidence
Arrange expert inspection
Never climb onto a wet or compromised roof after a storm. Inspect exterior elevations safely from ground level using binoculars.
Position buckets beneath damp ceiling plaster, relocate furniture and electronics, and isolate electrical circuits if water pools near fixtures.
Capture clear, wide photos of ground debris, displaced ridge caps, and water staining before any temporary tarping or cleanup begins.
Engage licensed local roofers to inspect roof trusses, tile clips, and flashing seals to establish a definitive scope of repair.
Visible and concealed damage
Perth storms inflict distinct damage across tile and metal roofs, ranging from noticeable exterior displacement to subtle interior water ingress.
Displaced Roof Tiles
Gutter and Flashing Failure
Concealed Sarking Leaks
Strong gusts lift unclipped ridge caps and crack terracotta or concrete tiles, allowing driving rain to saturate underlying roof insulation.
Buckled box gutters, detached valley irons, and bent Colorbond flashing redirect torrential runoff directly behind timber fascia boards and exterior brickwork.
Small punctures in vapour barriers often travel horizontally along battens before emerging inside, concealing structural moisture from plain sight.
