Auckland storms often bring more than just heavy rain and wind. Loose branches, rubbish, and other debris can be blown across rooftops, striking with enough force to damage metal surfaces. Even if the impact looks minor, it can leave dents or scratches that expose your roof to rust and future leaks.
One of the biggest dangers is punctures. A sharp branch or broken object can pierce through roof sheets, leaving small holes that quickly let water in. These holes are often hard to see from the ground but can cause serious damage inside the roof cavity once rain starts pouring through.
Scratches are another common problem. When the protective coating on metal is stripped away, rust sets in faster. Over time, this weakens the sheets and creates a bigger risk of leaks spreading across your roof.
Debris can also loosen fixings or shift ridge caps. If these are left unrepaired, water can be driven under the sheets during the next storm.
After any major storm, it’s smart to check your property for fallen branches or signs of roof damage. If you’re unsure, a professional inspection can give you peace of mind and prevent minor issues from turning into major repairs.
