What is Roof Failure Analysis?

Roof failure analysis is a structured forensic investigation that evaluates roofing performance issues like chronic leaks, blistering, delamination, or saturation. We examine materials, construction methods, environmental conditions, and drainage design to diagnose why the failure occurred—and what to do about it.

Why You Need Expert Roof Failure Evaluation

  • Uncover the true cause of persistent leaks or premature roof failure
  • Document findings for insurance or legal claims

  • Avoid full roof replacement by identifying isolated issues
  • Improve future specs and contractor oversight
