How do Roof Leakage Specialists Find Minor Gaps?

If the leak is problematic to view with the naked eye, reach the rooftop with a hose. Start low by soaking the area (over the leak seen from the interior). Clear the entire area when the water is drained on the roof. Get an assistant and tell him to stay indoors where the leak appears. let the water gush for several minutes before moving away from the area; inform the assistant to send an alert when the water starts dripping.

N.B. The process can take one or more hour(s). So, be patient and watchful.
