What to Expect During a Roof Leak Inspection | QPC Auckland

1. Initial Consultation and Site Visit

It all starts with a chat. We gather information about visible damage, moisture signs, roof age, previous repairs, and property history. This allows us to tailor our inspection for your situation.

2. Visual Roof Assessment

We examine the entire roof for obvious signs of damage — such as:

• Cracked tiles or broken metal sheeting

• Missing flashings or lifted ridges

• Corrosion, rust, or wear on membranes

• Blocked or overflowing gutters

If access is safe, we physically get on the roof to inspect up close.

3. Interior Leak Checks

We inspect ceilings, attic spaces, and internal walls for signs of moisture. Damp patches, peeling paint, or mould can help pinpoint where the water’s entering — even if it appears far from the actual leak source.

4. Moisture Mapping & Testing

We use moisture meters and thermal cameras to track hidden water paths. This is especially useful for identifying:

• Internal gutter or parapet failures

• Skylight or flashing leaks

• Seepage inside wall cavities

5. Detailed Reporting & Recommendations

Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report that outlines:

• Where the leak is coming from

• The likely cause

• Photos or thermal imagery (if used)

• Repair recommendations

• Whether urgent work is needed
