I can recommend this local leak specialist: https://drleaksphilly.com/

We had a mysterious, extremely intermittent leak that persisted even after several different roofers did repairs. This team will come out and literally test spots with flowing water to recreate the leaks and diagnose. It’s not cheap but they will be able to figure out what’s going on and give you a report that you can take to a contractor (or they’ll do the repair themselves for a premium).

Please do not waste your time on lawyers. Litigation is extremely expensive - and at the end of the day, you would be better served using the lawyer funds to fix your home instead of digging yourself into a debt hole.

Have you contacted the Owner? Do you have a paper trail of letters left to the Owner? Your first action should be notifying the Owner via certified mail so you can prove said Owner has been unresponsive.

Maybe hire them to diagnose but DO NOT hire them to do the repairs. They charge hourly and their workers run up the cost by making multiple trips to purchase supplies, including days in a row when you KNOW they knew the day before they'd need other stuff. And yes they charge hourly for those supply runs too. Not sure if it's incompetence, poor planning, or intentional to run up the bill but take it from me: do not hire Dr Leaks as contractors.
