Roof leak — Alicante, Valencian Community
A roof leak lets water penetrate your home, leading to mold growth, damaged insulation, and structural rot. Leaks often start small around flashing, vents, or worn shingles and worsen with each storm. A roofer can locate the entry point and perform a lasting repair.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Alicante
The Mediterranean climate's combination of intense UV, occasional intense rainfall, and salt air creates specific roofing challenges. Flat terraced roofs (azoteas) are common and prone to waterproofing failure as membranes age. The rainy season (October–December) exposes latent leaks after the dry summer. Coastal properties need salt-resistant flashing and fixings.
