What Is Roof Plumbing?

Roof plumbing is when plumbers perform repairs on roofing materials such as gutters, pipes, etc. that involve plumbing.

Some homeowners find that roof plumbing is difficult to understand, and many aren’t aware that they need a roofer. Hiring a roofing contractor is almost as important as getting the job done right. If you’re going to hire a roofer, it’s important that you know what to look for in a good roof plumber. You’ve got more than one story? If so, your roof needs more pipes. The best way to check if this is needed is to check the gutters for water flow direction. If water flows in different directions you might need additional pipes on your roof. Preventing leaks is to keep it from spilling over and causing damage.

Your roof is an important part of your house. The roof you have over your head is there to keep you and your family safe. If it’s not maintained well, then that roof will not be as effective as it should be.

Searching for the perfect roofing company or contractor can be quite difficult, especially if you don’t know much about what to look for in a company or contractor. So, if you want to make sure that you are hiring the right contractor for the job to get it done in time and within budget, it’s in your best interest to follow a few simple points. When trying to find roofing contractors, you should understand the various aspects of roofers and how they affect the success of a project. You should be clear about which services are being provided by any contractor before starting to look for bids. Roof repairs often involve many other services. Only a few roof plumbers specialize in flat roof repairs and their skills usually go beyond merely replacing or repairing tiles. They have much more experience with waterproofing and safety. Some roofers have only two or three workers and others have many.  You want to make sure that your roofing contractor is licensed, bonded, and insured. You also want to know how long he’s been in business and if he’s worked with other customers in the past. If you’re looking for a flat roofs repairs, you would want to double check if company does such type of work.

What is a Roof Plumber?

A roofer is someone who repairs, maintains or takes care of roofs.

Roof plumbers usually specialise in a certain type of roof, such as asphalt shingles or slate roofs. Your roof repair specialist may work on other repairs to the exterior of your home, including gutters, windows and driveway aprons.

There are three basic types of roof:

  • Flat roof
  • Shingles, tile and slate roofs
  • Metal roofs

How Long will the Plumbing on Roofing Take?

If your home has a complicated roof, it’ll take longer to finish than it will to just get a simple roof. It takes a lot of work to waterproof, and it can take a long time. Keep this in mind if you are choosing waterproofing work to be included in your roof repairs.

Do Roof Plumbers Fix Roof Leaks?

Yes. A roof plumber can often fix most roof leaks, but if unsure, you should have a professional assess the situation to determine if the plumber should be responsible for fixing the leak.  Some leaks are not the roofer’s responsibility, for example, if there is a plumbing leak in the wall, or if the damage was caused by high winds.  Only a professional who deals with roofs on a regular basis should be called to fix these types of problems:

  • Missing tiles and drainage gutters;
  • Leaks inside and outside of the roof;
  • Leaks under the roof.

The Difference Between a Roof Plumber & a Roofer or Roof Contractor

In order to be able to know who’s who, you must understand the differences among roof plumbers, roofers, and roof contractors.

What is the real difference between roofing companies, roofers and roofing contractors? These are the definitions of these three terms.

Roof Plumber

A plumber with experience can install a variety of gutters, downpipes, rainwater tanks, and flashings on both residential and commercial buildings. They can install cladding and roof sheeting, which is a type of exterior siding. They can read and interpret technical diagrams so they can install roof drainage systems with different angles in houses. The roofs are sloped to provide more rainwater storage, while the pitch is calculated to allow a rainwater catchment to hold enough water for storm surges.

Roofer

Roofer means anyone who works on roofs.  A roofer can be anyone who’s a licensed roofing contractor, a general contractor who can also do roofing work, an unlicensed roofing contractor, or someone who works for a roofing company. Licensing is very important before hiring an expert, especially in cases where you are dealing with a company or industry you are not familiar with. It is acceptable for a licensed roofer to bring an unlicensed assistant . Don’t hire an unlicensed roofer to do repairs on your home. It’s important that they are licensed so they know what they’re doing. Before hiring a roofer, you must first request a copy of their driver’s license and contractor’s license.

Roofing Contractor

Building contractors possess a government issued license that certifies that he/she is skilled and trained to build houses. Most of the time, roofing contractors do the work themselves.  Some companies choose subcontractors to complete their projects. Some roofing contractors work for a roofing company. A roofing contractor typically works in teams, bringing on more workers as needed.

Friendly, honest and absolutely a pleasure to deal with. We had a leak in the ceiling from a bathroom upstairs and we received great advice and service. The team knew exactly what the issue was and was able to sort us out quickly. I highly recommend Royal Flush Plumbing and will use them again. Thanks!

I had issues with my toilet drain blocking up at my place of business, Royal Flush came out and saved the day on a Sunday morning before an event I had planned Later on in the evening. I had a chat to Matt about renovating the toilet and adding on an additional toilet and a new shower/bathroom and to my amazement he made this happen and I couldn’t be happier. Royal Flush, nit only provided the plumbing removal and install of this little project….
