Leaks in commercial roofs
Roof leaks can happen unexpectedly, even with regular maintenance.
Commercial roofs in New Orleans face heavy rain, high winds and intense heat. Over time that wear causes cracks, failed seals and loose materials where water gets in.
Our leak detection pinpoints the exact location of the leak, so repairs are targeted and you avoid unnecessary expenses and further damage.

How it runs
Our Leak Detection Process
Four steps, from the roof surface to a report you can act on.
Initial Inspection
A thorough visual examination of the roof for damage, wear and likely leak sources.
Advanced Tools
Infrared imaging and moisture meters find hidden leaks you can’t see with the naked eye.
Analysis
A detailed assessment of the roof, with the precise location and extent of each leak.
Detailed Report
Findings, recommended repairs and an estimated timeline.
Step one is an inspection of your roof.
