Roof Leak Detection in British Columbia
Roof leaks are deceptive: water enters at a failed detail and travels along the deck and insulation before dripping inside, often metres from the actual entry point. On flat and low-slope roofs common to BC commercial, strata and institutional buildings, finding the true entry requires a survey, not a guess.
Leaks.ca is the educational leak detection hub and service-support division of Leak.ca, helping BC property owners understand leak risks and connect with professional detection services when needed.
Roof leak detection locates where water enters the roof assembly and how far it has spread, using thermal imaging — frequently by drone on large roofs — plus moisture mapping. This pinpoints the failed detail so the repair targets the real source instead of chasing the interior stain.
- Failed membrane seams, flashings and penetrations
- Ponding water on low-slope roofs
- Clogged or failed roof drains
- Parapet and edge-detail failures under wind-driven rain
Why It Matters
Finds the true entry point, not just where it drips

Roof Leak Detection — FAQ
Water enters at a failed detail and travels along the deck and insulation before it drips through, so the interior stain is often metres from the entry point. A thermal roof survey finds where water actually enters and how far it has spread.
