How do you connect a suite leak to the roof?
Ask the tenant or manager when the leak began, whether it follows rain, and what room or finish is affected. Record the location and take an interior photograph before cleanup alters the evidence. Then inspect the roof above and around that area. Water can travel along a wall, deck, or insulation before dropping into a ceiling, so the visible stain may sit away from the opening.
Check roof seams, parapet edges, penetrations, skylights, mechanical curbs, and drains. A wall leak may involve coping, counterflashing, or membrane termination; a curb leak may begin at a corner or equipment service point. Note whether a prior repair is loose or whether another trade changed the detail. Mark findings on a plan or photo with a fixed reference so the owner can see the relationship between the failed component and proposed work.
Murphy’s Corridor is a recognized commercial area, while roof systems still vary by property. Confirm the property address and building contact for each request. Do not carry roof history or access instructions from one shopping or office property to another.
