Houston’s Roof Leak Detection

We use a combination of advanced infrared thermal imaging cameras and precision moisture meters. Infrared detects temperature differences caused by moisture, while moisture meters measure exact moisture content in materials. This technology allows us to find leaks behind walls, under roofing materials, and in areas not visible to the naked eye.

Yes, absolutely. Our detection methods are completely non-invasive. We use exterior scanning technology and interior moisture detection without the need for destructive testing. In most cases, we can pinpoint leaks without cutting into drywall or removing roofing materials unnecessarily.

Infrared thermal imaging is highly accurate when used by certified professionals. Our cameras can detect temperature differences as small as 0.1°C, which allows us to identify moisture patterns invisible to the eye. Combined with moisture meter verification, we achieve over 95% accuracy in leak source identification.

The most common causes in our Houston climate include: damaged or deteriorated flashing around chimneys and vents, compromised roof sealants, wind-damaged shingles, clogged gutters causing water backup, and storm damage from hail or falling debris. We also see many leaks from improper previous repairs.

We recommend: 1) Annual roof inspections, 2) Keeping gutters clean and flowing, 3) Trimming overhanging tree branches, 4) Checking attic ventilation, and 5) Addressing minor issues before they become major leaks. We offer maintenance programs to help Houston homeowners prevent leaks before they start.
