A Southwyck leak trace begins inside the attic, before anyone touches a shingle. On Southwyck roofs the water's route is written on the wood.

Signal 01Stubborn Southwyck Leaks
Stubborn Southwyck leaks get the hose test: controlled water on one section at a time, working uphill, with eyes inside the Southwyck attic watching for the first drip. The timing of that drip maps directly to the section under the hose. This turns a whole-roof Southwyck mystery into a repair zone a few feet wide.

Leaves and needles hold water against the Southwyck shingles instead of letting it run off, and debris loads in the valleys run heavy through the seasons. Sideways wicking under the courses follows. Clean valleys with intact metal keep Southwyck roofs draining as designed.
