Roof-system knowledge
Different roof systems leak in different ways
Asphalt shingles rely on overlapping courses and flashing. Metal roofs depend on seams, fasteners and movement-compatible penetrations. Low-slope commercial roofs rely on continuous membranes, seams, drains, curbs and parapet flashing.
Understanding those differences makes leak diagnosis more precise and helps avoid surface patches that do not address the real entry point.
