Homeowner has persistent chimney leak that multiple roofers cannot diagnose or fix, causing recurring damp, salt damage, and wasted money on ineffective repairs.

Workarounds Described

• called three different roofers who visually inspected lead and tiles
• applied rubber HPX paint as a waterproof coating
• used Zinsser BIN primer to seal stains
• replastered with anti-salt plaster
• opening sealed bottom of fireplace to check

Implied Software Gaps

• A mobile app with diagnostic workflow and moisture mapping for roofers to systematically identify leak sources
• A homeowner-facing dashboard to track repairs and differentiate resolved vs. ongoing issues

LeakTrace Pro

LeakTrace Pro is a diagnostic service and mobile app that uses moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and dye tracing to pinpoint chimney and roof leaks. Roofers input observations and get guided diagnostics; homeowners track repair history and receive verified fix reports. Ends the cycle of guesswork and repeat callbacks.
