Evan headed out to East Perth, WA for a roof leak call — and it didn’t take long to find the problem.
What should have been a straightforward decktite installation was done completely wrong.
The Problems Evan Found
•Screws in the wrong places
•No silicone underneath the decktite
•Fitted flat instead of angled (holding water instead of shedding it)
•Oversized cuts left unsealed
The result? Water pooling and being sucked straight into the roof cavity, leading to interior leaks.
Evan’s Fix
To set things right, Evan:
•Removed all the dodgy decktites
•Installed larger replacements to cover the oversized cuts
•Applied proper silicone seals
•Secured with screws in the correct positions
•Finished with tight, watertight fittings
The Result
This East Perth home is now:
•Leak-free
•Protected with professional roof plumbing
•Set up for long-term reliability
“Roof penetrations are one of those jobs you can’t cut corners on — get it wrong, and leaks are inevitable.”
Location: East Perth, WA
Takeaway: Roof penetrations demand correct installation and sealing. Shortcuts cause leaks. Always trust a licensed plumber for roof work!
