Sarking Repair in the North Shore
Sarking Patching and Repair
North Shore Roof Repairs can repair or replace patches of sarking on tiled and metal roofing. Call us or submit our contact form.
Sarking is an important roofing component that provides both insulation and a moisture barrier.
Over time, exposure to elements and physical damage can necessitate repairs.
Patching Sarking
Patching roof sarking involves repairing minor damage such as small holes, tears, or punctures that may occur over time.
The process includes using repair tapes or patches of sarking material.
These materials are applied directly to the damaged area to restore the integrity of the moisture barrier and insulation.
Patching is a quick solution to prevent moisture from penetrating the roof structure, solving issues with leaks especially after the torrential rain that belted down on roofs in the North Shore during the April 2024 storms.
Reinforcing Sarking
Reinforcing roof sarking is about strengthening areas that may be prone to repeated damage or are showing signs of significant wear.
This process may involve adding extra layers of sarking material or using more durable, specialised products over the existing sarking.
The goal is to enhance the structural integrity and durability of the sarking against environmental stresses like wind, heavy rain, and prolonged sun exposure.
Reinforcing can extend the lifespan of the sarking and ensure continued protection and insulation of your home.
Common Sarking Problems
Deterioration and Wear: Sarking can deteriorate due to exposure to extreme weather, leading to tears and reduced effectiveness in insulation and protection.
Moisture Damage: If sarking is improperly installed or damaged, it can trap moisture, leading to mold, wood rot, and corrosion within the roof structure.
Inadequate Installation: Incorrect installation of sarking can cause issues like flapping, tearing, or loosening, compromising its insulation and moisture barrier functions.
