How do I know if my Adelaide roof contains asbestos?

Older cement sheeting from before the mid-1980s can contain it, but only testing can confirm. Ask a roofer or licensed assessor before anything is cut, drilled or pressure washed.

Who should I call for a roof leak?

A roofer can inspect the roof, flashing and gutters to trace the water entry. If water is near lights or wiring, keep clear of the area and also contact an electrician.

Is the gutter causing the leak?

Blocked or damaged gutters can send water where it should not go, but flashing and roof sheets or tiles can also be involved. Photos and an inspection help narrow it down.
