Recent summer stormy weather saw many Northern Beaches homeowners face a wave of roof repairs, keeping not only the SES busy attending to emergency call-outs, but also our Cloud9 Roofing team, to attend and make safe the resulting unexpected damages from high winds and heavy downpours.
As one of our clients discovered, polycarbonate roofing is particularly vulnerable to strong wind and debris. The homeowner of this Frenchs Forest home called us urgently when their front porch polycarbonate roof was severely damaged during recent a storm event. The roof was torn and could have broken away at any time, posing a real safety risk.
Immediate Action: Safety First
Our priority was to make the area safe. We carefully assessed the damage, removed loose debris, and temporarily secured the remaining structure to prevent further hazards. This quick response ensured the homeowner's safety and prevented additional damage.
Comprehensive Roof Replacement and Reinforcement
Following the initial safety measures, we returned a few weeks later to provide a complete roof replacement. We removed all the damaged polycarbonate sheets and replaced them with brand-new, high-quality polycarbonate roof sheets, complete with appropriate fittings.
Structural Enhancements for Longevity
To enhance the roof's durability and prevent future issues, we implemented several key structural improvements. We replaced two rotten timbers, providing a solid foundation. We also added an additional row of support to better distribute the load of the new sheets. Furthermore, we installed timber batons to strengthen the framing, ensuring the roof's stability even in harsh weather conditions.
Improved Drainage with New Guttering
Finally, to address potential drainage issues and protect the porch from water damage, we supplied and fitted a high front quad gutter and fittings. This new gutter system ensures efficient water runoff, preventing leaks and prolonging the roof's lifespan.
