When a roof leak cannot wait.
Practical steps to protect your household while you arrange professional help.
WHAT TO DO FIRST
Protect people and property.
Water coming into the home needs prompt attention, but safety comes first. Never attempt roof access during a storm or while surfaces are wet.
Contain water
Use a bucket or towels and avoid any water near electrical equipment.
Document damage
Take interior photos from a safe location for your records.
Arrange assistance
Contact a qualified local professional for urgent advice and next steps.
Water near lights, outlets, or a sagging ceiling?
Keep your distance. Where there is an immediate danger, use appropriate emergency services. Avoid disturbing compromised ceilings or electrical systems.
A STABLE NEXT STEP
Temporary protection versus permanent repair.
An urgent response may focus on limiting further water entry. A separate assessment may be needed to identify the underlying issue and choose a permanent repair.
