Roof leak detection that finds where the water gets in
Our work on a metal roof:
same roof, before and after
The ceiling stain is rarely where water gets in. We trace the entry point first.
What the leak check includes
Water travels. We find the actual entry point before any repair work starts, so you are not paying someone to patch the wrong spot.
Book a leak check- Full roof and ceiling inspectionInside and out, not only the stained spot.
- Water entry tracingFollowing the path the water takes to the ceiling.
- Thermal and moisture assessmentTo find wet areas you cannot see.
- Detailed fault reportWhat is wrong, and where.
- Clear repair recommendationAnd the price, before any work starts.
Why the stain is not the leak
Water runs along sheets, battens and the frame before it drips through the ceiling, sometimes metres from where it got in.
- Cracked ridge pointingLets water in along the ridges and hips.
- FlashingsAround skylights, chimneys, vents and walls.
- ValleysWhere two roof faces meet and the water runs hardest.
- Cracked tiles or rusted sheetsSmall gaps that open up in heavy rain.

Questions people ask
Can you not just repair where it is dripping?
Patching where the water came in often misses the real entry point, so the leak comes back. We find it first.
Do you check inside the ceiling too?
Yes. The inspection covers the roof and the ceiling.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. We assess the whole roof and give you the scope and the cost in writing before you book. Nothing starts until you have seen it.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. One crew does the job from start to finish, so the finish is the same across the whole roof.
Which areas do you cover?
Brisbane and Ipswich, the Gold Coast, Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast from Caloundra to Noosa.
