How to Spot a Roof Leakage
A newly and properly built tiled or metal roof is water-tight and there should be no occurrence of water leakage. A properly designed and built roof will only start leaking after years of wear and tear. Residential or commercial owners should be able to identify a roof leakage based on these different tell-tale signs:
1. Water marks on ceiling
2. Constant water droplets
3. Mouldy ceiling or wall
4. Cracked lines on ceiling or wall
5. Damaged drywall
6. Damaged furniture
7. Musty Odour
These are some common issues to determine a damaged roof, at SWC Construction, we not only practice visual understanding of a roof leakage. We conduct proper thermal detection with scientific reporting to ensure that a roof leakage had occurred.

Causes of Roof Leakage
Roof leakages are common in Singapore due to constant change in weather. It is especially hot during midday when the sun is scorching. But when it is past midnight, temperature starts to drop by 4-5 degrees Celsius. The problem is this, your roof tiles and metal roofing sheets expand dramatically during the midday sun and contract during midnight when temperature falls. Over time, these roof tiles and metal roofing sheets get damaged and crack. When there is presence of cracks and water, water leakage will occur.
