Roof Leak Locating

Find it before the roofer arrives

Find the roof leak before the roofer arrives.

Roof Leak Locating traces roof and ceiling water entry to its actual point of ingress, so roofing work targets the defect. Roof repairs are performed by licensed roofers.

This site focuses on roof leaks from stain to entry point, so roofers repair the defect rather than the ceiling.

How it works

  1. Describe the symptoms. Call or email with what you see, hear or smell, and when it appears.
  2. On-site investigation. Non-invasive methods narrow the search: acoustic, thermal, moisture, tracer gas or line tracing as needed.
  3. Confirm the source. Every clue is confirmed by a second method before it is reported.
  4. Written report. Findings, evidence, limitations and next steps, formatted for owners, managers and insurers.

Common questions

Do you repair the roof?

No. We locate the entry point and document it; licensed roofers perform repairs.

Can you find a leak that only happens in wind-driven rain?

Often yes, with moisture tracing and targeted testing. Some defects need monitoring through the right weather.

Do you go on the roof?

Roof access is used where it is safe; otherwise the investigation works from the interior and accessible edges.

Is this covered by insurance?

The report supports claims; coverage decisions are between you and your insurer.
