Essential Steps To Take During An Emergency Roof Leak

Minimize Water Damage To The Inside Of Your Home

It is important to minimize water damage as much as you can. Once you have discovered that there is leakage springing from your roof, try your best to find the precise spot leakage is stemming from. If you have large buckets, place them under the leak to prevent any damage to your floors.

Determine Where The Damage Has Occurred

This all depends on the scope and nature of your roof damage. You may be able to safely pinpoint the exact location, but keep in mind that you may not be able to isolate the damage location if structural damage has occurred. This is when an experienced professional should be called to inspect the roof damage. Ideally, you will be able to locate the damage from below.

Cover The Area With Tarp Until Help Arrives

In some cases, buckets may not suffice for large areas, and so a household tarp may be a better option to cover the area temporarily as water leaks into your home or office. A tarp can also be used to cover up the damaged section of your roof if you are able to safely secure it by placing heavy wood overtop to prevent the tarp from slipping.
