 Old Swiss Profile Roof Tiles |  New Premium Spanish Roof Tiles from La Escandella |
We were recently called out to a home in Lesmurdie experiencing ongoing roof leak issues with their existing Swiss profile tiled roof. Unfortunately, this is a problem we encounter regularly throughout Perth and surrounding areas, particularly on older tiled roofs where hidden cracking and water ingress become increasingly common over time.
Swiss profile roof tiles were once a popular roofing choice across Western Australia, however as these roofs age, they can become extremely difficult to maintain once they start to leak. One of the biggest challenges with Swiss profile tiles is that leaks often originate from cracks or breaks hidden beneath overlapping sections of the roof, making them nearly impossible to detect during a standard roof inspection. Ironically the more foot traffic these roofs get from owners or contractors attempting to maintain the roof, the more likely new leaks will appear.
In many cases, locating the exact source of a leak requires large sections of the roof to be stripped back tile by tile until the damaged tile / tiles are finally uncovered. This process can be time-consuming, labour-intensive, expensive for homeowners and especially disheartening when new leaks appear after the initial repairs are completed.
