How is a leak traced?
Start with the room and timing, then review nearby roof planes, valleys, walls, chimneys, and penetrations. Water can travel along roof layers before appearing indoors, so the suspected entry point needs evidence from the roof review.
What belongs in the repair?
Name the area inspected, covering or flashing to open, materials to restore, cleanup, and how concealed conditions will be handled. Keep drying, insulation, and ceiling finishes in separate scope lines unless included.
How do you protect the home during the work?
Keep people away from wet or damaged roofing and any sagging ceiling. A safe review begins from indoors or stable ground; urgent hazards belong with the appropriate emergency or utility service.
