Questions To Ask Your Roof Leak Detection Specialist

When it comes to protecting your commercial building, roof leaks can be one of the most damaging issues. Whether you manage industrial facilities, office complexes, or other large-scale properties, ensuring your roof stays free of roof leaks is crucial to avoid costly repairs, structural damage, or business disruptions. And here’s the reality—no roof is immune to leaks. Over time, even the most durable roofing systems can develop vulnerabilities, from cracks to punctures, allowing water to seep in and cause damage.

So how do you catch these leaks before they escalate? That’s where professional leak detection comes in. If you already have a roof leak detection system or are considering hiring a provider, it’s important to ask the right questions. Here’s a list of questions your specialist should be able to answer easily:

• What’s the difference between a scanning system and a leave-in-place leak detection system?

• Can the system monitor leaks remotely and in real-time?

• Do technicians need to return to the site to check for leaks, or is it fully automated?

• What types of roof systems or overburdens does the system work through?

• How precise is the system in locating a leak? Can it pinpoint the location within a specific area?
