When the source of a roof leak or water intrusion is unclear, Northlines provides independent forensic investigation to identify likely sources and contributing conditions. We evaluate roof-system failures, installation deficiencies, moisture entry points, drainage conditions, storm-related concerns, and building-envelope components.
Our process combines field observations, photographic documentation, building-envelope knowledge, and available property information to develop clear, evidence-based findings that help clients understand what is happening and why.
Forensic Roof & Leak Investigations
Standardized Forensic Reporting
Northlines can provide forensic roof inspections using the NRCIA standardized reporting system. The report organizes field observations, photographic documentation, roof-system information, observed conditions, and supporting evidence into a consistent professional format.
This provides property owners, attorneys, insurance professionals, buyers, and other stakeholders with a clear, organized record of the inspection findings rather than simply a collection of photographs or an informal roof assessment.
