Leak Detection & Repair

Finding the Source, Fixing It Right

Not all leaks are obvious. Water can travel along rafters, soak through insulation, and show up feet away from the actual problem. That's why leak detection isn't guesswork—it's detective work.

At Elite Roofing Inc., we've been troubleshooting tricky leaks across Bayonne for years. We know how water moves through different roof systems, where flashings fail, and which valleys collect debris. Our crews don't just patch the stain on your ceiling; we trace the water back to its entry point and repair the root cause.

Why Leaks Are Hard to Find

A wet spot on your ceiling might be directly below a damaged shingle—or it might be twenty feet away from a failed pipe boot, compromised chimney flashing, or a clogged gutter that's forcing water under the drip edge. Flat roofs, low-slope sections, and older multi-layer systems add even more complexity.

We use a combination of visual inspection, moisture meters, and decades of hands-on experience to pinpoint the exact failure. Then we explain what we found, show you the damage, and give you a straightforward repair plan.

Our Approach

Every leak investigation starts with a thorough roof inspection—inside and out. We check attic spaces for water stains and mold, examine flashings and penetrations, and test drainage patterns. Once we've identified the problem, we make the repair using quality materials that match your existing roof system.

If the leak has caused underlying damage to decking or insulation, we'll let you know. No surprises, no upselling—just honest assessment and solid repair work.

When to Call Us

Don't wait for a small leak to become a big problem. If you notice water stains, dripping, musty odors, or peeling paint, give us a call. The sooner we find it, the less damage it does—and the less it costs to fix.
