Advanced Leak Detection and Repair in Central Florida
A hidden roof leak can cause extensive and costly damage to your property’s structure, insulation, and interiors. Protech Roofing Services utilizes advanced techniques for precise leak detection, quickly identifying the source of water intrusion without unnecessary disruption. Once located, our technicians perform targeted, durable repairs to eliminate the leak and prevent future occurrences, safeguarding your Central Florida home from the serious consequences of water damage.
Florida Regulations and Local Codes
According to the Florida Building Code (FBC), all roof repairs — including leak detection and sealing — must use approved materials and follow waterproofing standards. The FBC requires that flashing, underlayment, and fasteners be installed and repaired to withstand Florida’s high winds and heavy rain.
Counties such as Hernando, Pinellas, and Pasco may require inspections for larger leak repair projects, especially if structural decking is involved. Protech Roofing handles permits, documentation, and inspection coordination so property owners remain fully compliant with state and county codes.
What Is Leak Detection and Repair?
Leak detection and repair is the process of identifying hidden water infiltration points in the roof system and sealing them properly. Unlike surface-level fixes, this service focuses on tracing leaks to their source.
Common causes of leaks in Florida include:
Missing or damaged shingles after storms
Cracked flashing around skylights and chimneys
Blocked or broken gutters in Hernando Beach, FL 34607
Aging underlayment and roofing materials
Poor workmanship from previous installations
In Alachua or Dade City, even a minor leak can escalate to mold, rot, or structural damage if not addressed promptly.
Our Leak Detection Process
1. Visual Roof Inspection
Check for visible damage or missing components.
2. Attic Inspection

3. Infrared Thermal Imaging

Risks of Ignoring Leaks
Structural Damage – Water weakens roof decks and framing in Citrus County or Alachua.
Mold and Health Hazards – Damp spaces in Pasco County or Spring Hill encourage mold growth.
Higher Repair Costs – Small leaks in Hudson or Brooksville quickly become major repairs.
Insurance Problems – Ignoring visible leaks in Hernando County or Pinellas County may result in denied claims.
