Practical visual roof leak assessment with photo evidence to help identify likely entry points around tiles, mortar, valleys, flashings and roof penetrations.

Koala Contractorz inspecting a roof and gutter for a possible leak in Adelaide
What the service covers

Narrow down the likely source of a roof leak.

The internal water mark is not always directly below the roof entry point. Water can follow rafters, battens, insulation or flashing before becoming visible inside the home.

Our starting point is a practical visual assessment of safely accessible roofline areas. Visible tile damage, mortar deterioration, blocked valleys, flashing concerns and likely water paths are photographed and explained. Further testing or licensed repair work may be recommended where the cause cannot be confirmed visually.

  • Visible entry pointsSafely accessible tiles, mortar, valleys, flashings and roof penetrations visually checked.
  • Likely water pathObserved conditions compared with the reported location and timing of the leak.
  • Photo documentationRelevant roof conditions recorded so the findings are easier to understand.
  • Clear next stepRepair scope, monitoring or specialist investigation recommended where appropriate.
Practical information

Clues that help locate a leak.

These observations can help describe the problem when you request a quote.

01

Marks after wind-driven rain

A leak that appears only in certain weather can help narrow the likely direction of entry.

02

Stains near an external wall

Valleys, flashings, gutters and roof-to-wall junctions may need closer visual attention.

03

Recurring ceiling discolouration

Repeated marks can indicate an unresolved pathway even when the surface appears dry.

Common questions

Clear answers before you book.

Every property is different, so the final scope is confirmed before work begins.

Can a roof leak be found in one visit?+

Sometimes a visible defect strongly suggests the source, but not every leak can be conclusively identified by visual inspection alone. Weather conditions, concealed materials and the path water travels can complicate diagnosis.

Is leak detection included with gutter cleaning?+

Visible likely leak points can be noted during an eligible gutter clean. A focused leak investigation or repair scope may require a separate appointment and quote.

What information should I provide?+

Photos of the internal mark, when it appears, the direction of recent rain and any previous repairs can all help focus the assessment.
