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 Forest
Forest features heritage-listed pitched roofs and recent extensions: water may run down the side of a dormer window before reaching a party wall. The survey documents likely water pathways and areas to be opened up at a later stage if necessary.
- Targeted assessment
- Photos and report
- Service subject to availability
Access and preparation in Forest
Please specify access via the back garden, the street-side slope, and whether the stain follows a roof line visible on the ceiling. Photos of interior dormer windows would be helpful.
Slate, zinc flashings and extension membranes; inspection of valleys and ridges where the roof can be accessed safely.

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.

Frequently asked questions
A leak may only become apparent when there is a headwind. Note the direction and strength of the wind during such episodes; an inspection carried out in dry conditions may prove inconclusive.
