Vent covers and eave gaps are an easy way into a roof once a join opens up or a cover starts to rust through, and both are often missed because they sit high up and out of sight from ground level. Vent and eave sealing in Hendra covers every vent and the full eave line on the house, not just the one spot that is obviously damaged.
The crew checks each vent for rust, cracked plastic or gaps around the frame, and works along the eave line looking for joins that have opened up or timber that has warped enough to leave a gap. Gable vents and whirlybird bases get the same attention as smaller eave vents, since they sit in the same exposed position. Chimneys and skylights, where a house has either, are checked at the same time, since these can develop similar gaps over the years. Metal mesh is fitted behind vents that still need airflow but should not be an open gap, and eave joins are sealed to match whatever material is involved.
This work is often booked alongside a broader roof check across Hendra, since a damaged vent is rarely the only weak spot on a house. The crew will point out anything else noticed along the way, even outside the original scope of the job. Nearby downpipes are checked to make sure they are draining properly, since a blocked one can add extra strain on a gutter line already under pressure.
