Roofs are made to withstand the weather; they have solid structures and are covered with waterproofing membranes to be functional and provide protection in the long run. The factors that make them vulnerable are the quality of materials and accessories, extreme weather phenomena, the passage of time, or faulty installation.

Connecticut commercial roofing professionals can do a waterproof test by flooding the roof with water so that, at static pressure, any installation defect or pore in the waterproofing membrane receives moisture. Signs of infiltration will be seen through water dripping or persisting moisture in the ceiling and/ or walls. If the roof is okay, the water test will reveal nothing. However, heavy rain may still reveal signs of water infiltrations, which indicates that a portion of construction or masonry facilitates the water leak through areas other than the roof.

Regardless of the nature of the infiltration, it is best to contact the roof builder or the installer of the covering materials to clarify some aspects, such as the vertical masonry where the roof cover ends, the rainwater drainage system, the roof cover layers and the order of installation, the age of the roofing materials, etc. and to make an objective and proper verification of the possible causes of infiltration.

The necessary repairs depend on the type of roof and the damage, which roofing companies like https://www.nemasonry.com can inspect and find to repair.
