Most homeowners think that their plumbing system is all about pipes that make up their drainage system only. However, even gas vent pipes and the water pipes on your roof are part of your plumbing system.
Roof pipes are a part of your entire plumbing system that you can easily forget to inspect and take good care of. And the condition of roof plumbing determines how long your roof will serve you and the longevity of your house. So, if you haven't checked or repaired your roof pipes in a while now, the following signs show that you need to call in a roof plumber to inspect and repair them.
1. Your House Has Wet Spots and Leaks from The Roof
Wet spots on your ceiling, as well as water dripping from your roof when it is not raining, indicate that you could be having leaks in your roof plumbing. When this happens, get a plumber to fix the leaks immediately; otherwise, the leaking water may start spreading to other different parts of your roof. And, if there are cracks or loose flashing on your roof, then you may have water eventually penetrate your house.
When the leaking water does not penetrate into your house, it settles on your roof and peels off the roofing paint. This will expose your roof to other damages, such as rusting and cracking, within a short time. So, if you notice water patches on your ceiling and leaks, call in a professional roof plumber to inspect and repair your roof pipes.
2. Your House Vent Pipes Are Loose
When installing vent pipes in your home, plumbers use a rubber collar to connect the pipes to the roof. The rubber is exposed to different weather conditions throughout the day, ending up cracking or breaking over time. When this happens, the vent pipes will have nothing holding them to the roof. When the pressure is too much, the pipes become loose, and they might even break if you don't fix it in time.
So, if your vent pipes are loose, check whether the rubber connecting them to the roof is intact. If it's damaged, hire a professional roof plumber to install a new one before the vent starts letting water into your house.
3. Your House Water Pressure Is Lower
If the water pressure in your house is lower than usual, then there is a problem somewhere in your plumbing system. The pressure problem could be arising from the main supplying source from your region. But, if that is not the case, your plumbing system could be leaking.
If the other parts of your plumbing system are not the issue, check your roof pipes. Hire a roof plumber to inspect and repair your leaking roof pipes.
These signs indicate problems with your roof plumbing. Always engage a roof plumber to inspect and repair your roofing pipes.
