It’s every homeowner’s worst nightmare. All of a sudden you see a water stain on the ceiling and hear the dripping…a roof leak. Don’t panic! There are steps you can take while you are waiting for your roof contractor. Here are a few ways to decrease the damage.
Roof leaks can happen for a variety of reasons such as the age of your roof or damage from severe weather. A small leak can quickly turn into something more serious so it is important to contact a trusted local roofing company as soon as possible.
If your roof is leaking take these steps immediately:
– Move items out of the way that could be damaged – especially in the attic or close to the source of the leak. If you can’t move something cover it with a waterproof cover
– Try to minimize the damage by containing the leak using a bucket, towel or trash can. If the leak is severe, have several containers nearby and empty them as needed.
– Take photos and document what is happening for your insurance company
– Avoid going on the roof and attempting to fix the damage yourself, the risk of harm is too great
The first and most important step is to contact a trusted, local roofing company. Most roofing companies have emergency services and can be available quickly to stop the worst of the damage.
