Roof Leak Detection

Where is the leak
actually coming from?

Water travels horizontally under the roof. Where it shows up on your ceiling is rarely where it enters. KPro traces leaks back to their actual source — drone aerial, attic inspection, water test.

Emergency response

On-site fast. Documented for insurance.

Every leak detection project KPro takes on starts with a free 24-hour drone inspection. We document everything before we touch a single shingle, fastener, or membrane — and you get those photos and the written assessment whether you proceed or not.

Our St. Louis customers have been telling us the same thing for 6 years strong: the difference is in the details. Three magnet sweeps for nails. Final drone inspection before sign-off. Two rounds of rain test for any roofing work. Owner on-site for every insurance adjuster meeting.

From Manchester to Chesterfield, Wildwood to Ballwin, Kirkwood to Town & Country — KPro has installed, repaired, and maintained leak detection across every St. Louis suburb. Family-owned since 2020. 4.9 stars on 160+ verified reviews.

What you get

How we find leaks.

Most contractors guess. We have a process.

Stage 1 — Visual inspection. Drone aerial of the entire roof. Photos at every angle. Ground walk-around for siding, gutters, fascia.

Stage 2 — Attic inspection. Water-stains on rafters tell us where water is hitting. We follow the trail upward.

Stage 3 — Water test. If the source isn't obvious, we systematically run water on the roof to recreate the leak. We narrow the entry point to within inches.

Stage 4 — Repair or recommendation. Most leaks turn out to be flashings, vent boots, or seam issues — all repairable without replacing the roof.

Frequently asked

Leak Detection FAQ

Common questions about leak detection in the St. Louis area. Don't see yours? Call (636) 386-7499.

How much does leak detection cost?+

Free if it leads to a repair we perform. $200 standalone if you just want the diagnosis.

Why is my leak in a different spot than the source?+

Water travels along framing and pools at low points. Sometimes the entry is 10–15 feet from where it shows up on the ceiling.

What if you can't find the source?+

Rare but it happens with very intermittent leaks. We come back during the next rain and document live.
