How Do Roofers Check for Leaks During an Inspection?

Roofers check for leaks by inspecting the entire roof system and the attic to trace water paths. Our residential repair appointment is a 60–90 minute inspection with photos and clear repair-or-replace guidance. In New Haven, MI, we examine shingles, flashing, chimneys, skylights, and gutters. For flat or metal roofs, we check for ponding water, loose fasteners, and reseal penetrations as needed.

• Attic moisture and staining
• Roof surface damage or missing shingles
• Flashing and sealant failures at penetrations
• Gutter clogs and drainage issues
