Assessment
Analysis on site or remotely, depending on the situation: location, condition of the surfaces and causes of water ingress.
Roof inspection — Brussels-Capital Region
Roof leak detection in Etterbeek
Etterbeek is a mix of blocks of flats with rear terraces and terraced houses: damp in the living room may be caused by a flat-roofed garage above or by a chimney flashing on a tiled roof.
- Targeted assessment
- Photos and report
- Service subject to availability
Access and preparation in Etterbeek
Please indicate whether the problem is on the top floor or a middle floor, and whether there is a courtyard from which the roof can be viewed. Recent work on an extension: date and nature.
Chimney flashings, terrace joints and downpipes are inspected where visible; capillary action along a masonry wall remains a common cause of problems.

Important limitations
- There is no guarantee that the source of the leak will be identified during the first visit, particularly if the leak is intermittent.
- A non-destructive inspection may not be sufficient; a localised opening or a further assessment may be recommended.
- A diagnosis must be carried out before a repair is chosen; Dr Roof does not promise to use any specific equipment (such as drones, thermal imaging cameras or tracer gas) that has not been confirmed in your case file.
- Appointment times are subject to confirmation, depending on availability, access and weather conditions.
