Advanced Leak Detection Technology to Find & Fix Hidden Roof Leaks Fast
Roof leaks can cause serious damage before you even notice them. Trust Ray Browne Roofing Ltd. to deliver expert roof leak detection services using advanced technology and proven methods. We serve Burnaby, Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey, and surrounding communities with a commitment to finding leaks quickly and fixing them right the first time.
We understand the unique weather challenges of the Lower Mainland—from heavy rain and coastal winds to freeze-thaw cycles and constant moisture exposure. Our leak detection expertise helps identify problems specific to our wet climate before they cause major damage.
Our fully licensed and insured leak detection specialists bring years of hands-on experience to every inspection. We combine expert knowledge with advanced technology to locate even the most elusive leaks quickly and accurately.
We use state-of-the-art leak detection methods including infrared thermal imaging, moisture meters and sensors, electronic leak detection, and proven visual inspection techniques to find leaks other methods miss.
We don’t consider the job complete until we’ve found your leak and you’re 100% satisfied with our solution. Our customer-first approach means we keep searching until we identify the source and provide a lasting fix.
We start with detailed discussion of symptoms and history, visual inspection of interior damage, attic and crawlspace examination, and preliminary identification of potential leak sources and affected areas.
We employ multiple proven techniques including infrared thermal imaging to detect moisture and temperature variations, electronic moisture detection to pinpoint wet areas, water testing to trace leak paths, and systematic visual inspection of all roof components.
Our inspection examines all critical areas including shingles and roofing materials, flashing around chimneys and vents, valleys and roof intersections, penetrations like pipes and skylights, gutters and drainage systems, and structural components for damage.
We create detailed documentation including high-resolution photos of problem areas, thermal imaging reports showing moisture patterns, moisture level measurements, and comprehensive reports identifying all leak sources and affected areas.
We don’t just find where water enters—we identify why it’s happening including installation defects, material failures, storm damage, age-related deterioration, or improper ventilation causing condensation issues.
You’ll receive clear explanations of all identified leaks, prioritized repair recommendations, transparent cost estimates, and prevention strategies to avoid future leaks and protect your investment.
Once we locate your leak, we provide expert repair services including flashing replacement and resealing, shingle repair or replacement, structural repairs if needed, and comprehensive waterproofing to ensure lasting protection.
Our region’s climate creates specific leak vulnerabilities. We commonly find leaks at flashing failures around chimneys and skylights, valley deterioration from debris accumulation, penetration seals around vents and pipes, damaged or missing shingles from wind, ice dam damage in freeze-thaw cycles, gutter overflow causing fascia leaks, and condensation issues from poor ventilation. Finding the exact source requires expertise and technology.

Ray Browne was recommended to me by a neighbour and a few friends who have used them for their homes previously and I've since recommended Ray Browne to 2 other neighbours since my roof was installed a couple weeks ago. I had a few roofing companies come to quote, but overall Ray Browne stood out. Alliston and Josh have been roofers for 25+ years and their experience and skill was obvious. Alliston carefully and patiently inspected and advised on all of my concerns including a leak I was having with my old roof, condensation issues, and other details. He didn’t rush through our walkthrough of the roof top, inspection of the attic, including some condensation on a cold December day on the underside of the north facing section of the roof, or any answers to follow up questions I called about after receiving his quote. Alliston provided a very competitive and detailed quote, including a few upgrade options if I so desired. He guided us on what we needed and didn't need. To resolve the condensation issue, additional larger outlet vents at the ridge were installed to increase airflow in my attic. My continuous strip, full perimeter soffit inlet venting was measured and deemed sufficient. I agreed to a 3/8” plywood overlay to address the deficiencies of my original shiplap roof deck that caused a leak in my old roof, to ensure a solid installation of the new shingles. Alliston recommended Certainteed Landmark Moire Black and I opted for the high profile “Mountain Ridge” caps upgrade. I also opted for an upgraded underlayment of Winterguard along the eaves and DiamondDeck for the rest of the roof surface. These underlayment and installation options then qualified for Certainteed’s SureStart Plus 5-Star extended warranty which I additionally requested for my own peace of mind. He understood my concerns and took care and the time to ensure they were all addressed. He and his 3 man team started first thing in the morning to efficiently remove and carefully and skillfully install a new shingle roof within 2 days, cleaning the job site as they went and ensuring it was clean and clear of debris at the end of the first day as well as at the end of the job on the 2nd day. I had all the information beforehand and no surprises during the job. Nice and straightforward. Roofing a house is a significant expense and it was great to see the great care taken to ensure I was satisfied, and I am. Thank you, Alliston and Josh!Posted on Google Rene and Melinda de JongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are very pleased with our new roof from Ray Brown Roofing. Alliston was very professional, polite and true to his word. He explained everything in detail. His workers were the same and the result is a beautiful roof. Thank you!Posted on Google gtok66Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Ray Browne Roofing through our local community page where they were highly recommended. I’m happy to say I can now recommend them myself. When Alliston came by to give me a quote, I was pleasantly surprised when he told me that he and his crew could also replace our aging fascia boards. The crew was on time, worked quickly and kept the area around our home clean at all times. Thank you Alliston and crew for your professionalism and excellent workmanship.Posted on Google Bruce ChambersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had our 24 year old roof replaced by Ray Browne Roofing and couldn't be more satisfied. Alliston, Josh and Karan were straightforward, honest and great to deal with. From initial contact to inspection to quote to install all came together quicker than I had hoped for. They install high quality products at very reasonable prices and their work is exceptional. The new roof looks great and will last for many years (warranties on both products and workmanship). They kept our yard cleaned up really well both during the work and at completion. Need a new roof? Call Ray Browne Roofing. Thanks Alliston, Josh and Karan!Posted on Google Dave ProvenzanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great communication and transparency. Very good craftsmanship from the team - flashings are well installed and waterproofing in general was done well. Ray Browne Roofing does honest and quality workPosted on Google Christian InjatesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ray Browne Roofing replaced our nearly 30 year old roof recently. This was a cedar to asphalt conversion. The quote was well detailed and everything was explained in detail. When it came to the installation, we were away on vacation but were provided regular updates with photos which was fantastic. The quality of work and cleanup was excellent. I would highly recommend Ray Browne Roofing to anyone wanting quality work for a fair price. We are very happy customers!
