Roof Leak Detection

Roof leak detection is one of the most critical roofing services a homeowner can schedule when signs of water damage appear. At Alhambra Superior Roofing, we offer professional roof leak detection services designed to quickly locate the source of the leak, assess the damage, and recommend practical repair solutions. Whether you're dealing with an active leak during a storm or spotting moisture stains on the ceiling, our trained technicians use proven methods to identify the problem accurately without causing further damage to your roof.


Water intrusion is the leading cause of structural damage in residential properties, and most leaks go unnoticed until they become serious. That is why early residential roof leak diagnosis can save you thousands in future repairs. We work with all roof types, including shingle, tile, metal, and flat systems. From emergency roof leak repair to advanced tools like thermal roof leak inspection, we find the problem fast and fix it the right way.

Our Roof Leak Detection Services

We provide a complete range of roof leak detection services tailored to the type of roofing system and the urgency of the issue. Every service is designed to locate leaks accurately and provide the right solution for your home.

Flat Roof Leak Detection


Flat roofs require specialized techniques to find leaks because water does not always drip directly below the damaged area. Our team is trained to locate water entry points using moisture mapping, surface testing, and roof membrane inspection.


We examine seams, flashing, drains, and penetration points for hidden issues. Flat roofs need regular inspections, and we’re here to make sure they stay watertight.

Emergency Roof Leak Repair


When a leak happens during heavy rain or at night, you need immediate help. Our emergency roof leak repair service provides a fast response to stop the water and prevent further damage.


We carry the materials and tools needed for temporary and permanent fixes. Once the leak is contained, we follow up with a complete repair plan.

Thermal Roof Leak Inspection


Some leaks are hidden below the surface and require advanced tools to detect. Our thermal roof leak inspection uses infrared technology to identify moisture trapped beneath roofing materials.


This method is highly accurate and allows us to locate the source without unnecessary demolition. It's ideal for complex roofing systems and hard-to-find leaks.

Water Leak Detection Roof Services


Our water leak detection roof services combine visual inspection, moisture sensors, and pressure testing to pinpoint where water is entering. We look beyond the surface and examine your entire roofing system.


This includes checking underlayment, flashing, chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys. The goal is to find all potential entry points before they lead to major issues.

Why Trust Our Leak Detection


Finding and fixing a roof leak is more than just patching a hole. It requires skill, the right tools, and a clear understanding of how roofing systems work.

We respond quickly to urgent leak reports and aim to get someone on-site as soon as possible. Our team understands that every minute counts when water is getting into your home.

Common Causes of Roof Leaks

Cracked or Missing Shingles

Shingles protect the roof from water intrusion, and even a single missing piece can cause a leak. We inspect for damaged or dislodged shingles caused by wind, aging, or poor installation.

Flashing Failures

Flashing protects roof edges and intersections like chimneys and valleys. When it rusts, bends, or lifts, water can seep underneath and travel into your home.


Ponding on Flat Roofs

Water that collects on flat roofing systems due to poor drainage or slope issues often leads to leaks. We assess these areas for signs of membrane damage or ponding.
