5 Action Steps

1. Find A Container For Spillage

The first thing you should do if your roof leaks is to find a container where the water can be collected. This will prevent water from going everywhere and damaging your appliances. If the water appears or smells dirty, call a roofing contractor immediately.

2. Move Furniture Out Of The Way

Once you’ve stopped the water from spreading all over your floors, move any furniture and appliances out of the way as much as possible. If moving them isn’t possible, cover them with a plastic sheet until the specialists arrive. This will protect them from sustaining any water damage.

3. Redirect Leakage Via Pipe

Should the roof leak worsen until help arrives, you can try to redirect the water to drip or leak outside your home using a rubber pipe. Secure one end of the leak and take the other end outside your home or near a gutter opening for safe drainage.

4. Examine Roof From Outside

After the roof leak has been contained to some degree, you can try and look at your roof from the outside to spot any sign of shingle damage or blocked gutters. Either of these two might be the source of the leak, so communicate your observations (if any) to your contractor once they arrive.

5. Take Precautions And Call A Contractor

For your safety, don’t try to go onto your roof especially while it’s leaking. Experts who handle this work use plenty of safety and leak detection equipment that protects them against a variety of risks, so wait at a safe distance for them to arrive.
