Finding the Source of the Leak — Not Just Covering It Over
A roof leak rarely starts where it appears to finish. Water can travel along battens, down trusses, and through insulation before it becomes visible on your ceiling — sometimes metres from where it actually entered the roof. Finding the true entry point is a diagnostic process, and it’s one that A1 Roof & Driveway Restorations takes seriously.
We carry out professional leak detection and repair across Mackay and surrounding suburbs. Our approach is informed by plumbing and tiling trade expertise — which means we understand how water moves through a roof system, not just how the damage presents from the outside. We find the cause, repair it properly, and give you confidence the issue has been resolved. Start with a free, no-obligation roof inspection.
Signs You May Need Leak Detection
- Water stains or damp patches have appeared on your ceiling or internal walls
- You notice dripping during or shortly after heavy rain
- There’s a persistent musty or damp smell in the roof cavity or upper rooms
- A previous repair didn’t hold — the leak has returned
- You can see daylight through the roof from inside the roof space
- Tiles or flashing appear disturbed, but you can’t identify where water is entering
- Leaks only occur during particularly heavy or wind-driven rain events
QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the leak appear somewhere different to where the roof is damaged?
Water follows the path of least resistance. It can travel along roof timbers, sarking, and insulation before dripping onto your ceiling — sometimes metres from the actual entry point. That’s why proper leak detection traces the source, not just the stain.
Can you find a leak that only happens during heavy rain?
Yes. Intermittent leaks that only occur during heavy or wind-driven rain often point to specific failure types — valley overflow, flashing failure, or exposed tile edges. We know what to look for and how to assess the roof in relation to Mackay’s local rainfall patterns and storm behaviour.
What if a previous repair didn’t fix it?
This is more common than it should be. A surface-only fix that didn’t address the root cause will fail again. We’ll assess what was done previously, determine why it hasn’t held, and repair it properly this time.
Do you work on both tile and metal roofs?
Yes. We carry out leak detection and repair on both tile and metal roofs, and our diagnostic approach is tailored to the specific characteristics of each roof type.
