Water can travel well beyond the point where it enters. We follow the moisture path using roof inspection, testing and thermal imaging where useful.
Share a few details and we will explain the next step
The ceiling stain is often only the last place the water travelled
Roof leaks can move along rafters, insulation, battens and flashing before becoming visible inside. Repeatedly sealing the area above a stain may miss the actual entry point and make the water path harder to understand.
We review when the leak appears, inspect accessible external and internal roof areas, and use moisture testing, controlled investigation or thermal imaging where it helps. The result is an explanation of the likely source, any limitations and the recommended next step.
Leak detection is a paid consultation. The price and Find It or No Charge terms are confirmed before booking. If repair work is needed, it is quoted separately with the applicable workmanship, leak and satisfaction guarantee terms.

Review when, where and under what weather conditions the water becomes visible.
Check accessible tiles, sheets, valleys, flashing, penetrations, seams and drainage paths.
Follow visible staining and moisture through accessible internal roof areas.
Use temperature patterns to help identify concealed moisture where conditions make it useful.
Compare readings and observations to trace the likely path back towards the entry point.
Explain the likely cause, investigation limitations and the repair or further testing recommended.

Straight answers, suitable materials and a clear written scope
Pricing, thermal imaging, investigation terms and repairs
Leak-detection consultations start from $250. This is not a fixed price. The confirmed price depends on the leak pattern, roof access, size, previous repair attempts and investigation required. We confirm the consultation price before booking; leak detection is not a free quote service.
Thermal imaging can show temperature differences that may indicate hidden moisture. It is used alongside a physical roof and roof-space inspection, moisture testing and the history of when the leak appears. It does not replace trade judgement or guarantee every wet area is visible.
The terms are explained before the investigation begins. They define the agreed area, access requirements, testing allowed and what counts as locating the likely entry point. Any repair work is a separate quoted scope.
A limited repair may be possible when the cause is clear, the required material is available and conditions allow safe work. Otherwise, we explain the finding and provide a separate repair quote. Temporary weatherproofing may be available for active water entry.
The written repair quote sets out the leak repair and workmanship guarantee for the agreed area. If the same issue returns, the covered work is reviewed under those terms. New defects or water entry outside the quoted area are assessed separately.
We investigate leaks on terracotta and concrete tiles, Colorbond and other metal roofing, slate and flat roofing systems. The inspection and testing method changes with the roof construction, surface, access and weather pattern.
