Roof Leak Detection

Roof leaks in DFW homes are notoriously difficult to trace because water can travel along rafters, sheathing, and insulation before emerging as a ceiling stain far from the actual penetration point. JRH Construction uses infrared thermal imaging on commercial flat roofs to detect moisture trapped beneath the membrane — invisible to the naked eye but clearly visible on thermal cameras. For residential roofs, systematic water testing (running a hose on specific sections while someone watches inside) is the most reliable method. After DFW hailstorms, leaks often appear weeks or months later as damaged flashing and cracked pipe boots slowly fail.
