Roof repair & waterproofing in Alor Setar
Alor Setar, the capital of Kedah, is surrounded by flat paddy fields, so most homes are spread across low-lying land. The town centre has older shophouses, while neighbourhoods such as Mergong, Alor Merah, Simpang Kuala, Anak Bukit and Tandop are filled with single- and double-storey terraces, semi-Ds and bungalows from the 1980s to the 2010s. Village homes around the outskirts often have zinc roofs. With open, flat terrain, storm winds hit roofs directly and rain drains slowly. Kedah also has a pronounced dry season early in the year, so roofs face both strong heat and heavy rain. Common problems include shifted tiles, rusted zinc, cracked ridge mortar and leaking flat porches.

Is a metal roof too hot for Alor Setar's dry season?
