What to record
Record when the leak starts, how long it continues and the room or ceiling area affected. Roof surfaces, joints, flashing, gutters and outlets are possible inspection points. Water can travel before becoming visible indoors, so the stain may not sit directly below the entry point.
Before choosing a repair
Photograph from a safe, accessible location; do not climb onto a wet roof. The repair should address the assessed defect and drainage, not simply repaint the ceiling. Existing layers, weather and required curing conditions determine preparation and scheduling.
Discuss the scope
ODS Construction Chemicals focuses on waterproofing, supported by concrete repair, flooring and finishing. We also consider selected renovation and construction projects. Send the location, photographs and proposed scope to confirm whether we can take on your project. A guide is not a quotation or a promise of a particular method, product or completion date. Where a project proceeds, the written scope sets out the work and any warranty offered.
More on this from our guide library.
