If you’ve identified a roof leak or a potential roof leak, it’s important to have a professional inspection done immediately. While it can be difficult to pinpoint a leak, a reputable roofer will understand this and be aware of the issues with identifying the origin of a leak. Instead of putting yourself in danger by walking on your roof while searching for your leak, allow a qualified professional to assist you with your roof leak needs. Our expert team at Planet Roofing will provide homeowners with leak detection services they can trust.

If you are trying to discover the cause of a leak, it’s important to remember that water can’t travel up, which means any leak you find is downhill of the origin.  Water can travel a long way through layers of shingles, felt, and underlayment before it finds a way into the roof deck.  When it’s permeated the roof deck, it can run along the deck until it finds a joint or nail hole that it can run down to reach the other side of your roof deck and eventually your ceiling.
