Roof leak detection in Brussels

The place where water appears inside does not always correspond to the source on the roof. A systematic inspection enables us to pinpoint the repair.

  • Targeted assessment
  • Photos and report
  • Service subject to availability

How the service call works

  1. Assessment

    Analysis on site or remotely, depending on the situation: location, condition of the surfaces and causes of water ingress.

  2. Repair or protection

    Targeted work or temporary measures when access, weather and safety conditions allow.

  3. Report and recommendations

    A summary of findings, useful photos and priorities for what comes next — without any promise of overall watertightness.

Typical steps on site

  1. Analysis of symptoms and photographs
  2. Inspection of the roof and visible interior areas where necessary
  3. Assumptions regarding water flow and testing priorities
  4. Proposal for repairs or a further inspection

When the situation allows, you receive a structured summary covering the findings, work completed or temporary measures, and recommendations for what comes next.

  • Before-and-after photos

Relevant roofs and situations

  • Tiles, slates, roofing, EPDM and technical terraces

Access and preparation

  • Please note whether the stain appears mainly after prolonged rain or headwinds

Limitations and points to note

  • Express, urgent or standard turnaround times are subject to confirmation, depending on availability, accessibility, weather conditions and an on-site assessment.
  • A permanent repair may require favourable weather conditions or additional access.
  • An intermittent leak may not be apparent on the day of the visit; further investigations may be required.
  • Without a specific point of entry, a non-destructive inspection does not always confirm the exact cause.
