More importantly, make sure you work with a professional roofing contractor to fully inspect, identify and install a new leak-proof roof.

1. Identify the Location of the Leak

Taking photos and catching water where it is entering your home will be helpful in identifying the source of the leak.

2. Contact the Roofing Specialist as soon as leak is noticed

Even if you are unsure of the severity, it is best to call a roof repair specialist and explain the situation. Helpful companies like ours can tell you what the best course of action is for your situation.

3. Minimize potential damage

Protect your structure and belongings. Remove anything that might be easily damaged by the water if it can be readily moved. Place a plastic tarp on the floor (or, if that’s not available, broken down cardboard boxes or old towels) and then cover anything else the water may reach with plastic trash bags.

4. Clean Up Roof Debris

Clean up and maintenance are important as clogged drains can be a cause for roof leaks.

5. Call your Insurance company

If there is damage to your ceiling, floor, walls, or insured belongings that requires repair or replacement, call your insurance company to see if any of it is covered.
