Stopping roof leaks before they ruin your home
Roof plumbing problems don’t wait for a good time. They show up in the middle of a downpour, dripping through ceilings or spilling out of gutters. Left alone, they can wreck plaster, warp floors, and grow mould. Outright Plumbing’s licensed roof plumbers find the source quickly and fix it properly, so you can get through the next storm without buckets on the floor.
- We track leaks to the source instead of guessing.
- Our vans carry the gear to fix all roof plumbing issues on the spot.
- Every repair is explained clearly so you know it will hold up in bad weather.

Roof plumbing is just one part of what we do
Keeping water out of your home starts at the roof, but it doesn’t end there. Gutters connect to downpipes, downpipes connect to stormwater drains, and every part needs to work. Outright Plumbing looks after the whole system. If it carries water in or out of your house, we’ve probably fixed it before.

The most common roof plumbing problems we fix
Not all roof leaks are the same. Some are obvious, others are sneaky, and each needs a different repair. Here are the issues we see most often in Melbourne homes.
Roof leaks caused by cracked or slipped tiles
Tiles shift or crack over time, letting rain straight into the ceiling space. We replace damaged tiles and reset them properly, making sure the underlay is sound so the leak doesn’t return.
Gutters that overflow or rust through
Old gutters often rust from the inside out, while newer ones overflow when they’re not sized or pitched correctly. We repair or replace sections and make sure the fall is right, so water heads to the downpipe instead of back into your walls.
Flashing failures around chimneys and skylights
Flashing is meant to direct water away from tricky spots, but once it lifts or corrodes, water sneaks in around the edges. We refit or replace flashing so it seals properly and holds tight in heavy weather.
Stormwater outlets blocked with leaves and debris
When outlets clog, gutters and box gutters overflow fast. Water then finds the weakest point, which is often straight into the eaves or ceiling. We clear blockages and, where needed, fit guards to keep them free-flowing.
What most homeowners don’t realise about roof plumbing
Roof leaks and gutter problems are rarely what they seem at first glance. Here are a few things we’ve learned on the tools that make all the difference in diagnosing and fixing roof plumbing properly.
Water stains often appear far from the actual leak
Water runs along rafters and joists before it drops, so the damp patch on your ceiling might be metres away from the real problem. Without getting up on the roof and into the ceiling space, it’s guesswork.
Neglected gutters damage more than just your roofline
When gutters overflow, water doesn’t just drip over the edge. It runs down walls, soaks footings, and even undermines foundations. We’ve seen garden beds and paths sink because water was left to pool at the base of houses.
Flashing repairs need more than a tube of silicone
Silicone slapped over bad flashing might stop a leak for a few weeks, but it doesn’t last. Proper repairs mean lifting the old flashing, reseating it correctly, and using the right materials for the roof.
Blocked downpipes and outlets put pressure on everything
When outlets clog, gutters fill like bathtubs. The extra weight can pull gutters off their brackets, crack joints, and dump water into wall cavities. Clearing them is cheap and fast, but leaving them blocked gets expensive quickly.
Detailed roof plumbing solutions for every problem
We take a thorough approach to roof leaks so nothing is left to chance.
Detailed inspection inside and out
We don’t just look at the ceiling stain. Outright Plumbing check the roof surface, roof cavity, gutters, and downpipes to track the problem right back to its source.
Clear explanation of the fault and solutions
Once we know what’s happening, we’ll show you exactly where the problem is and explain the best ways to fix it. That could mean repairing flashing, sealing joints, replacing broken tiles, or carrying out roof pipe leak repairs.
Professional repairs that last
We complete the repair to a high standard, clean up carefully, and double-check that water is flowing away as it should. Every job is backed by our workmanship guarantee, so you can be confident the fix will hold.

Roof plumbing for commercial and managed properties
Commercial roofs don’t just cover more space; they carry more risk. A leaking box gutter in a school can close classrooms, and blocked outlets in a shopping centre can flood tenancies below. Outright Plumbing works with managers across Melbourne to keep large roof systems watertight and compliant.
- Strata and apartment buildings: Shared roofs and gutters mean one leak can affect dozens of residents. We provide detailed reports so managers can plan repairs and keep owners informed.
- Schools and childcare: Safety comes first. We repair and maintain roof plumbing without leaving trip hazards, and schedule work to avoid disruption to students.
- Retail and hospitality: From box gutters to skylight flashing, we fix problems fast to keep businesses open and customers comfortable.
- Warehouses and factories: Stormwater outlets and industrial roof drains need regular checks to handle large surface areas. We service and repair them before they cause costly downtime.

Straight answers to common roof plumbing problems
Our FAQs cover the questions we get most often about roof leaks, ceiling drips, and urgent repairs.
What should I do first if I notice water coming through my ceiling?
Finding water dripping from the ceiling can be stressful, but there are safe steps you can take before we arrive. The goal is to limit damage indoors without putting yourself at risk.
Here’s what you can do:
- Catch the water. Place a bucket, pot, or even a towel under the drip to protect your floor.
Move valuables. Shift furniture, rugs, or electronics out of the way so the water doesn’t damage them. - Relieve pooling water. If you see a bulge forming in plasterboard, carefully place a bucket or lots of towels underneath, but do not be tempted to pierce it. That might seem like a good way to relieve the pressure, but it’s impossible to tell just how much water is actually pooling in your roof.
- Turn off the power if needed. If water is near light fittings or power points, switch off electricity at the fuse box until we confirm it’s safe.
- Leave the roof itself alone. Don’t climb up — it’s slippery, dangerous, and often makes things worse.
Once you’ve done that, call us straight away. We carry out roof leak repair daily as part of our same-day emergency plumbing services, helping to protect your home and get it safe again fast.
How do I know if I need roof repairs or a full roof replacement?
Not every leak means you need a new roof. In many cases, cracked tiles, damaged flashing or small gaps can be patched with minor repairs.
A full replacement is only recommended if your roof is at the end of its life, has widespread damage, or continues to fail after multiple fixes. A professional inspection is the best way to work out how much longer your roof will last.
We’ll always explain the options clearly so you can make the right call. All work is carried out to Victorian plumbing industry standards, giving you peace of mind that the right decision has been made for your home.
Can a roof plumber help with gutter problems, too?
Yes. Gutters and downpipes are part of the same system that protects your home from rainwater. If they’re blocked or damaged, water can overflow and leak into your walls or ceiling.
Our team handles everything from gutter replacement to cleaning your gutters. Common issues we see include:
- Rust or holes in old steel gutters
- Downpipes blocked with leaves and debris
- Gutters overflowing during heavy rain
- Poor connections between the roof and guttering
Regular gutter care is an important part of looking after your home. We can include it as part of wider plumbing maintenance services so your whole system keeps working properly.
How often should I get my roof inspected?
Regular checks are the best way to stay ahead of leaks. For most homes, a roof should be inspected every couple of years — and more often if you’re in an area with lots of trees or strong coastal weather.
In suburbs with older housing stock, like East Melbourne or the eastern suburbs, issues such as shifted tiles or cracked flashing tend to show up sooner. Small problems can turn into major damage if they’re left unseen.
Professional roof inspections give you a clear picture of the condition of your home’s covering. When needed, we also use leak detection technology to spot hidden water entry before it becomes visible.
What kinds of roofs do you work on?
We repair and maintain all the common roof types seen across Melbourne, from tiled and slate to modern steel. Our plumbers also handle metal roof systems on newer homes as well as restoration work on older properties.
Work we regularly carry out includes:
- Tile and slate repairs
- Sheet replacement on metal roofs
- Flashing and valley fixes
- Plumbing for new extensions or additions
Whether it’s a small patch-up or your next renovation project, our team can handle the full range of services. You’ll find details of what we do through Outright Plumbing’s services.
How do I know if my roof leak is serious?
Some leaks are obvious — water dripping into a room or stains spreading across plaster. Others can be harder to notice, but just as damaging.
Signs that a leak needs urgent attention include sagging ceilings, damp smells, or stains that spread quickly after rain. Even a slow drip can rot timber and insulation long before you see it inside.
Calling a professional quickly is the safest move. We’ll check the full system, make sure your roof is watertight, and carry out repairs with the quality workmanship needed to keep your home protected.
Can roof plumbing help stop future leaks?
Yes. Roof plumbing isn’t just about patching the current problem — it’s about prevention. Regular checks and maintenance extend the life of your roof and reduce the chance of future issues.
Our plumbers often recommend:
- Routine inspections to spot wear early
- Sealing or resealing flashing and joins
- Preventative maintenance, like gutter cleaning
- Restorative work to extend the life of older coverings
By catching small faults early, you avoid bigger repairs later.
Do you work on both residential and commercial roofs?
Yes, we work on everything from small homes to large commercial buildings. Over the years, we’ve repaired leaks in family houses, schools, offices, and warehouses across Melbourne.
Different roofs have different challenges, but our team adapts to each one. That’s why both homeowners and business owners trust us for reliable, professional repairs and maintenance.
