A leak that hides its source is the most frustrating kind. Simmons Roofing uses advanced leak detection across Southeast Missouri to accurately identify and locate leaks — so we fix the real problem, not the symptom.
Our advanced leak detection services employ state-of-the-art technology to accurately identify and locate leaks. Water travels, so the drip you see inside is rarely directly beneath where the leak actually is — finding the true source is the whole challenge, and it's exactly what we specialize in.
Once we've pinpointed the real source of the leak, we can repair it precisely, instead of guessing and patching spots that were never the problem in the first place.
As a family-owned, licensed, insured, and bonded company, we take the guesswork out of leaks. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation assessment.
Here's how we track a leak back to its true source.
State-of-the-art detection tools that reveal what the eye can't see.
A close look at flashing, seams, valleys, and penetrations.
Following the water back along its path to where it enters.
The real problem, confirmed — not a guess.
The single biggest reason roof leaks keep coming back is that the repair targeted the wrong spot. Water enters at one point, then runs along the decking and framing before it finally drips — so the stain on your ceiling can be feet away from the actual leak.
Advanced leak detection removes that guesswork. We find where the water is genuinely getting in, which means the repair actually fixes the leak the first time, instead of becoming the next in a string of failed patches.
That saves you the frustration, the repeat visits, and the money of chasing a leak that never seems to go away.
Every leak detection job ends with a clear answer.

Because water travels. It enters your roof at one point, then runs along the underlayment, decking, and framing until it finds a place to drip — often several feet from the actual leak. That's why the source is so hard to spot from the stain alone, and why professional detection matters.
We combine advanced, state-of-the-art detection technology with a thorough hands-on inspection of the flashing, seams, valleys, and penetrations. Together, these let us trace the water back to where it's really getting in.
Almost always because the previous repairs treated the symptom, not the source — patching where the water showed up rather than where it entered. Once we pinpoint the true source, the repair holds.
Yes. Chimneys, skylights, vents, and other roof penetrations are among the most common leak points, and they're exactly the areas our detection process examines closely.
Yes. Locating the source is the hard part — once we've pinpointed it, we complete a precise, lasting repair and back it with our workmanship warranty.
