Roof Leak Detection, Diagnosis & Repair
Most roof leaks don't originate where the water shows up on your ceiling. Water follows rafters, insulation batts, and electrical conduits before dripping down — sometimes traveling 10 to 20 feet from the actual breach point. RoofingFixed technicians use professional-grade moisture meters, attic probes, and thermal imaging to trace the exact entry point before executing a permanent fix.
Our Standardized Execution Process
Thermal scan & moisture mapping
We scan your ceiling and attic using calibrated moisture meters to identify wet zones and temperature differentials.
Exterior root cause analysis
Our inspector walks your entire roof surface examining flashings, valleys, vents, skylights, and ridge caps.
Precise repair & dry verification
We seal the source permanently and perform a water test to confirm the repair before leaving.

- Cracked or dried-out rubber pipe boots around PVC vents
- Separated step flashing along dormers or sidewalls

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my ceiling leak only sometimes?
Intermittent leaks are often caused by wind-driven rain forcing water past compromised flashings that drain fine in vertical rain.
My roofer fixed it once but it still leaks — why?
Many repairs address symptoms rather than the true origin. Our thermal mapping traces water back to the actual breach point.
