What to Do if Your Roof is Leaking
A roof leak is an emergency requiring an immediate response to prevent serious interior damage. While waiting for a professional, follow these steps:
- Carefully locate the source of the leak (if safe to do so)
- Place a bucket or container underneath to catch dripping water
- Cover or move valuables away from the leak and avoid electrical hazards
- Document any damages with photos for insurance claims
It’s critical to call the professionals at Interstate Roofing ASAP to inspect and repair the leak. Minor roof leaks can be temporarily patched to mitigate further damage, but the root cause of the leak needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Small leaks can quickly develop into severe leaks, which may end up requiring a full roof replacement. Don’t wait - contact Interstate Roofing right away if you notice leaks.
