Roof & Ceiling Leak Investigation
Precision detection of water intrusion from above without invasive methods
Understanding Roof & Ceiling Leaks
Roof and ceiling leaks can be particularly challenging to diagnose because water often travels from the entry point before becoming visible. This means the visible damage may be far from the actual source of the leak, making conventional detection methods unreliable.
At Leak-Investigation.ca, we use advanced thermal imaging and moisture mapping technology to trace water pathways back to their source, allowing for precise repairs without unnecessary demolition or guesswork.
Common Causes of Roof & Ceiling Leaks
- Damaged or missing shingles
- Deteriorated flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights
- Ice dams during winter months
- Clogged gutters causing water backup
- Condensation in attic spaces due to poor ventilation
- Plumbing leaks in upper floors
- Improperly sealed roof penetrations
- Aging roof materials beyond their service life
Our Investigation Process
Thermal Imaging
We use infrared cameras to detect temperature variations that indicate moisture presence in ceilings and roof structures.
Moisture Mapping
Our moisture meters create a comprehensive map of affected areas to track water pathways to their source.
Timely Assessment
We provide rapid response to minimize damage and deliver detailed reports for repair guidance.
Benefits of Professional Roof Leak Investigation
Precise Source Identification
Eliminate guesswork by pinpointing the exact location of water entry, even when it's not visible to the naked eye.
Minimize Repair Costs
By identifying the exact source, repairs can be targeted and efficient, avoiding unnecessary work and reducing costs.
Prevent Secondary Damage
Early detection prevents mold growth, structural deterioration, and damage to insulation and electrical systems.
Detailed Documentation
Receive comprehensive reports with thermal images and moisture readings for insurance claims or contractor guidance.
Don't Delay Investigation
Roof leaks rarely resolve themselves and typically worsen over time. What starts as a minor issue can quickly lead to significant structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs if left unaddressed.
