Leaky Roof? Here’s What to Do
Noticing water spots on your ceiling or a drip from above? A roof leak can quickly cause damage to your attic, insulation, walls, and even electrical systems.
Here’s what you should do:
Move your valuables and put buckets to catch water
Turn off power in the area if water is near outlets or fixtures
Take photos and notes to document damage for insurance
Check your attic for water trails or wet insulation
Cover the roof with a tarp if it’s safe
Clean gutters to prevent water backup
Contact your insurance company to start a claim
Schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible
