Leak Detection Services We Provide

Leaks are rarely where they appear. Our team traces water back to its true entry point — saving you from unnecessary repairs and repeat problems.

Full Roof Leak Inspection

We perform a comprehensive top-to-bottom inspection of your entire roof system to identify all active and potential leak sources before they cause further damage.

Active Leak Tracing

Water travels along rafters and decking before it drips — often appearing far from the actual entry point. We trace active leaks back to the exact source so repairs are targeted and permanent.

Flashing & Penetration Inspection

Faulty flashing around vents, skylights, chimneys, and A/C curbs is the leading cause of roof leaks in South Florida. We inspect every penetration point in detail.

Skylight & Chimney Leak Detection

Skylights and chimneys have complex flashing assemblies that degrade over time. We pinpoint exactly where the seal has failed and provide a repair plan to stop recurrence.

Flat Roof Leak Detection

Pooling water and failed membrane seams on flat roofs are notoriously hard to trace. We locate breaches in TPO, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing systems accurately.

Attic & Interior Moisture Assessment

Leaks often cause hidden damage in your attic before any interior signs appear. We assess moisture levels, staining, and structural damage to give you the full picture.

Post-Storm Leak Inspection

After a hurricane or heavy rain event, many leaks appear for the first time. We provide post-storm inspections to catch new entry points before they cause ongoing damage.

Intermittent & Hard-to-Find Leaks

Some leaks only appear during certain wind directions or rain intensity. Our experienced team knows where to look for the elusive entry points that other roofers miss.

Detailed Leak Report & Repair Plan

After every inspection, you receive a clear written report identifying all leak sources, contributing factors, and a prioritized repair plan with transparent pricing.

A Leak That's Hard to Find Is Not a Leak You Should Ignore

In South Florida's climate, even a slow or intermittent roof leak creates ideal conditions for mold, wood rot, and structural deterioration. Many homeowners discover the damage only after it's spread far beyond the original entry point — and by then, a simple repair has become a major project.

Leak Detection FAQs

Common questions from Miami homeowners dealing with roof leaks

Why is water dripping in one spot but the leak is somewhere else?

Water follows the path of least resistance — it enters through a small opening, travels along rafters, sheathing, or insulation, and drips somewhere entirely different. This is why the spot where you see a stain or drip is almost never the actual entry point. Our inspection traces the water path back to its true source.

Is there any obligation after a leak detection inspection?

No obligation at all. We inspect your roof, locate the source of the leak, and walk you through what we found. What you decide to do next is entirely up to you — we never pressure homeowners into repairs.

My roof only leaks during heavy rain or certain wind directions. Can you still find it?

Yes — intermittent leaks are one of our specialties. Wind-driven rain leaks, leaks that only occur at certain rainfall intensity, and leaks that stop and start are often caused by specific flashing failures, failed sealants, or directional vulnerabilities. We know where to look based on the pattern you describe and 20+ years of South Florida experience.

Can a roof leak cause mold?

Yes — and in South Florida's humidity, it can happen quickly. Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water intrusion in attic insulation, wood decking, and drywall. Finding and fixing the leak source as early as possible is the most important step in preventing mold from spreading further.

Will my insurance cover a roof leak repair?

It depends on the cause. Leaks resulting from a storm, wind, or sudden event are typically covered by homeowner's insurance. Leaks caused by age, lack of maintenance, or wear and tear usually are not. We provide detailed documentation of the source and cause of the leak to support your insurance claim if applicable.

Do you repair the leak after detecting it?

Yes. Builtech handles both detection and repair. Once we locate the source, we provide a written estimate and — with your approval — complete the repair using quality materials suited to South Florida's climate. All repair work is backed by a workmanship warranty.
