Leaking roof vent or flashing — Limassol, Limassol
Leaks around roof vents, pipes, or flashing are one of the most common causes of roof leaks. Flashing — the thin metal strips that seal transitions between the roof and chimneys, vents, or walls — deteriorates over time from UV exposure, thermal cycling, and storms. Even a small gap lets water infiltrate into the attic and down through ceilings. A roofer can remove the old flashing, install new step or counter flashing, reseal vent boots, and verify there's no hidden water damage in the decking below.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Limassol
Limassol's mix of flat-roofed low-rise and high-rise towers means two distinct roofing markets: bitumen/PVC membrane on villas and apartments (8–12 year life under ~3,300 sunshine hours), and complex podium and tower-top waterproofing on the skyscraper cluster. The brief but intense November–February rain season exposes membrane weakness immediately.
