💧 When everyone thinks water is seeping in through the porch... and the expert discovers the real source is on the roof!

In this case, everything suggested that the leak was coming from the porch slab. Several stakeholders were convinced of this. However, our team did not jump to conclusions.

Using proven methodology , targeted testing , and rigorous analysis of each clue , we identified the true cause: a leak at the junction between the roof valley and a poorly designed flashing. As a result, water was seeping through the roof, traveling through the structure, and then appearing much lower down, giving the illusion of infiltration through the ground.
