Our Leak Detection Solutions

We use precise methods and specialized equipment to identify leaks quickly and accurately. Our approach focuses on understanding the unique challenges of commercial flat roofs in Milwaukee's climate to target issues before they worsen.

Advanced Diagnosis

Our team employs infrared thermography to detect moisture beneath roofing layers without invasive measures. This technique highlights temperature differences, revealing hidden water accumulation even in areas that look dry.


We also perform electronic leak detection, which locates leaks

through electrical conductivity testing. This method is particularly effective on non-conductive flat roofing membranes, allowing us to find pinpoint leaks with minimal disruption.


Combining these diagnostic tools ensures thorough assessment, reducing the risk of missed leaks that can cause structural damage or costly repairs over time.

Specialized Tools

Flat roofs require unique tools due to their design and materials. We use moisture meters calibrated for flat roofing substrates to measure dampness levels across the surface precisely.


Our team employs core sampling equipment when necessary, extracting small sections of the roof to analyze the layers and identify water intrusion points. This provides a clear picture of the membrane’s condition beneath the surface.


Additionally, we utilize drones for roof inspections, allowing us to access hard-to-reach areas safely and efficiently. This technology provides detailed aerial views to complement on-site analysis.

Early Leak Identification

We prioritize detecting leaks in their initial stages to prevent escalation. Our regular roof inspections include checking seams, flashing, drains, and penetrations—common weak points where leaks often start.


Early identification helps us recommend targeted repairs that extend the roof’s service life and avoid costly emergency fixes. We track moisture levels over time to detect subtle changes before visible damage occurs.


Implementing preventive measures after early detection supports the overall integrity of commercial flat roofs, making maintenance more manageable and cost-effective.

Expert Roof Leak Repair Services

We focus on pinpointing the exact cause of leaks, using high-quality materials, and restoring flat roofs to their original integrity. Our approach ensures effective, long-lasting repairs tailored to commercial properties.

Targeted Leak Fixes

We begin by conducting a thorough inspection to locate the exact point of leakage. This targeted approach prevents unnecessary damage and limits repair scope to affected areas only.


Using advanced detection tools, we identify common causes such as cracked membranes, loose seams, or clogged drains. Once found, we apply precise repair techniques to stop water infiltration quickly.


Our team prioritizes minimizing disruption to your business. Repairs are scheduled and executed efficiently to restore your roof’s function without extended downtime.

Durable Repair Materials

We use industry-standard materials designed for flat commercial roofs, including specialized membranes and sealants. These products resist UV exposure, weathering, and wear over time.


Our materials are selected based on compatibility with your existing roofing system to ensure a secure bond and maintain warranty compliance.


The durability of materials contributes to lower maintenance costs and reduces the chance of recurring leaks. We stand behind the products and techniques we choose.

Seamless Flat Roof Restoration

Following leak repair, we focus on seamless restoration of your flat roof’s surface. We replace or reinforce damaged sections to ensure uniform protection against water intrusion.


This process includes reapplying coatings or installing patches that blend with existing roofing materials. The goal is to restore the roof’s full waterproof barrier without visible irregularities.


Proper restoration extends the roof’s lifespan and improves overall building water resistance, supporting structural integrity for years to come.
