Patch the drip
- Fixes the spot water showed up, not where it entered
- Wet insulation keeps spreading under the membrane
- Same leak returns, often in a new place
Leak Detection & Repair
Find the real source. Fix it once.
Water travels. Our technicians trace leaks to their origin with moisture meters, infrared and controlled water testing, then make a permanent repair and log it to the roof record.
Outcomes
What leak detection & repair delivers
Find the true source of a leak and fix it once.
Stop repeat calls
Source-based diagnosis prevents patching the same leak again and again.
Protect interiors
Faster, accurate repairs reduce damage to finishes, inventory and residents’ units.

Leak history by section shows when repairs stop making financial sense.

Infrared moisture scans
The drip you see is rarely the whole problem
Water enters at one point, then travels through the insulation long before it shows up on a ceiling tile. An infrared scan shows where all of it went, so the repair covers the wet area, not just the stain.
Scan, then repair
- Infrared maps every wet area across the whole roof
- Saturated insulation is cut out and replaced with the repair
- Wet percentage tells you whether repair still makes sense
When to scan
Add a scan when a leak points to something bigger
Repeat leaks
Same building, same complaint, more than once in a year.
After a storm
Hail or wind damage that is not yet showing up inside.
Before a big repair
Confirm the roof is worth fixing before spending on it.
Multiple sites leaking
One aircraft flight scans the whole portfolio at once.
Aircraft for portfolios, drones for single sites. Results are verified with cores and logged to the roof record in TEMA IQ.

FAQ
Leak Detection & Repair questions
Will a repair void our warranty?
We use manufacturer-approved materials and methods and coordinate with the warranty holder when required.
How quickly can you respond?
Plan clients receive priority scheduling. Active leaks are triaged the same day.
When should we add an infrared scan?
When a roof leaks repeatedly, after a storm, or before a large repair. The scan shows how much insulation is wet, which decides whether repair or replacement is the better spend.
Not sure where to start?
Start with a roof assessment. We’ll document condition, prioritize the work and show you what should happen next.
