Roof nails are designed to keep sheets firmly attached to the structure, but over time, weather, wind, and temperature changes can cause them to loosen. When this happens, small gaps form that allow water to enter beneath the roofing sheets.
Rust is another common problem. Metal nails exposed to rain and humidity can corrode, losing their grip. Rust stains may appear on the roof surface, but the bigger risk is the hidden leaks forming underneath.
Even a few loose nails can compromise a roof’s integrity. During heavy rain, water can be driven under sheets, reach timber, and soak insulation. Left unchecked, this leads to rot, mould, and structural weakening.
Regular roof inspections are the best way to catch loose nails before they cause leaks. Roofers can tighten, replace, or reseal nails as needed to protect your home.
