What the Inspection Covers
Every Roof Leak Inspection in San Marino, Texas includes a full interior scan, a roof-level search, a hose test, and a written report.
Work order
Roof Leak Inspection- Interior Moisture Scan: We run a moisture meter across ceilings, walls, and attic decking, then sweep the same areas with an infrared thermal imaging camera. This step finds hidden saturation behind drywall and under insulation that a visual check would miss.
- Roof-Level Inspection: We walk the roof and check flashing, valleys, pipe boots, skylight curbs, and shingle courses. Every suspected failure point gets photographed, and we note the material type so the repair quote matches what is actually up there.
- Hose Test Confirmation: When we find a likely entry point, we run water over it with hose test equipment and watch from inside. This confirms the leak source before anyone commits to a repair, which prevents paying to fix the wrong area.
- Written Inspection Report: You get a roof leak inspection report San Marino property owners can file with insurance or keep for records. It includes photos, moisture readings, damage notes, and repair recommendations ranked by urgency.
- Repair Quote: If the fix is straightforward, we quote it on the spot. You will know the cost before we schedule anything, and there are no surprise line items added after the work starts.
- Insurance Documentation: For storm-related leaks, we provide the photos, measurements, and damage descriptions your adjuster needs. We can also speak with your carrier directly if they have questions about the findings.

Roof Leak Inspection in San Marino, Texas
A roof leak never fixes itself, and the longer water runs, the more it costs. We find the source, confirm it, and document it so you can fix it once.
Roof Leak Inspection in San Marino, Texas is a diagnostic service that locates the exact point where water enters your roof system, then documents the damage path from the roof deck down to the ceiling. We check flashing, pipe boots, valleys, skylights, and shingle courses with moisture meters and infrared thermal imaging cameras. You get photos, moisture readings, and a written roof leak inspection report San Marino property owners can hand to an insurance adjuster or a repair crew.
San Marino sits in a hail and wind corridor, and the roofing here takes a beating from spring storms and summer heat that bakes asphalt shingles until they crack. After a storm, we see shingle blow-off, flashing failure, and pipe boot cracking on homes that look fine from the street. If you have water stains spreading on a ceiling, an attic that smells damp, or granules piling up in your gutters, a professional roof leak inspection San Marino homeowners trust will tell you whether you need a repair or a full replacement.

What to Expect During Inspection
Every inspection follows the same five steps.
Tools and Methods We Use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Reveals temperature differences caused by saturated materials. It finds hidden water behind walls and under insulation that a visual inspection would miss entirely.
Detects moisture through roofing membranes without pulling up shingles or membrane. It is especially useful on flat and low-slope roofs where seams are the usual suspects.
Applies controlled water to a suspected entry point while we watch from inside. This confirms the leak source before anyone commits to a repair.
Captures high-resolution images of steep, tall, or fragile roofs without putting a technician at risk. We use it for tile, slate, and multi-story roofs where walking is not safe.

How Roof Leak Inspection Works in San Marino
San Marino sits in a part of Texas where spring hail and summer heat do most of the damage. Asphalt shingles take a beating from both: hail bruises the mat, and 100-degree days bake out the sealant until shingles lift at the edges.
Stone Oak
Large two-story homes with steep roofs and multiple pipe penetrations. Builder-grade boots are the most common leak source we find here.
Monte Vista
Historic homes with original flashing details and clay tile. These roofs need careful inspection because the materials are fragile and replacements are hard to match.
Alamo Ranch
Newer subdivision with architectural shingles. Hail damage shows up as bruised mats and cracked sealant, often before homeowners notice any interior stain.

PhotoCeiling Stain Traced to Pipe Boot
Before: A homeowner in Stone Oak had a spreading ceiling stain in the master bedroom. Two previous contractors had sealed different areas of the roof with no result. The leak continued every time it rained, and the stain had grown to about 18 inches across.
After: Our moisture meter and infrared camera traced the water back to a cracked pipe boot three feet from the stain. We replaced the boot and re-sealed the penetration in under an hour. The leak stopped immediately, and the ceiling dried within a week.
Hail Damage Documented for Insurance
Before: After an April hail storm, a homeowner in Terrell Heights noticed water coming in around the chimney. Their insurance company asked for documentation before approving the claim, and they had no photos or moisture readings to provide.
After: We inspected the roof, photographed 40-plus hail impacts, and logged moisture readings in the attic. The report went to the adjuster, and the claim was approved in four days. We repaired the chimney flashing and replaced the damaged shingles.
Flat Roof Seam Leak Repaired
Before: A property manager at a Medical Center office building had been fighting a seam leak on a TPO roof for months. Water was dripping into a storage room, and previous patch jobs had failed within weeks.
After: Our infrared scan found saturated insulation under the membrane, which the patches had been hiding. We replaced the wet sections, re-welded the seam, and repaired the roof drain. Two months of heavy rain later, the room is still dry.
Roof Leak Problems We Solve
Most leaks we inspect fall into a handful of categories.
Ceiling water stains that keep growing
A spreading stain means water is actively running through your decking and insulation.
Attic water intrusion after storms
Wet insulation loses its R-value, and saturated decking starts to rot.
Flashing failure around chimneys and skylights
Flashing is the most common leak point on any roof.
Pipe boot cracking and vent leaks
Texas heat dries out neoprene boots in three to five years.
Hail and wind damage you cannot see from the ground
Hail bruises shingles and wind lifts them at the edges. From the ground, the roof looks fine.
Why Get a Roof Leak Inspection
A leak rarely starts where the stain shows up. Water travels along decking, insulation, and framing before it drips through your ceiling.
Stop Repeat Repairs
Most homeowners we meet have already paid someone to seal the wrong spot.
Documented for Insurance
Hail damage and wind uplift damage claims need evidence, not opinions.
Catch Hidden Rot Early
Attic water intrusion rots sheathing and decking long before it shows on drywall.
Same-Day Availability
When water is dripping into a bedroom at 9 p.m., you need answers, not a callback next week.

What San Marino Homeowners Say
I had a stain on my ceiling for three weeks and two other companies told me I needed a full roof replacement. These guys ran a moisture meter and an infrared camera and found a cracked pipe boot. They showed me the photos before and after. No pressure, no upsell.
After the April hail storm, water started coming in around my chimney. The inspection report they gave me had photos of every dented vent and cracked flashing detail. My insurance adjuster approved the claim in four days because the documentation was that clear. I did not have to argue for anything.
We manage a flat-roof office building that had been leaking at the seams for months. Their infrared scan found saturated insulation we did not know about, and they repaired the TPO membrane and replaced the wet sections. Two months of heavy rain since then and not a drop inside. Worth every dollar.

A full assessment includes an interior moisture scan with a moisture meter and infrared thermal imaging camera, a roof-level inspection of flashing, valleys, pipe boots, and shingles, a hose test to confirm the entry point, and a written report with photos. You get the findings, the repair options, and a clear recommendation on what to fix first.
Yes. We cover San Marino and the surrounding San Antonio neighborhoods, including Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch, Helotes, and Terrell Hills.

A standard single-story inspection takes 60 to 90 minutes. Two-story homes, tile roofs, and properties with multiple leak complaints run two to three hours. We do not rush the roof-level search, because a missed pipe boot or valley detail means you are calling us back in a month for the same leak.
