Discovering a roof leak can be stressful, but taking immediate action can help minimize damage and prevent costly repairs. Follow these steps to protect your home:
1. Protect Your Belongings
- Move furniture and personal belongings away from the leak.
- Cover any large items that cannot be moved with plastic sheets.
- Place a leak-proof container under the drip to catch water.
2. Minimize Water Damage
- Mop up or blot-dry any standing water on floors and furniture.
- If carpeting is soaked, consider pulling it up to dry the padding underneath. This should be done with professional assistance to prevent mold growth.
- Ensure fresh air is circulating to speed up the drying process and prevent moisture buildup.
3. Identify the Source of the Leak
Roof leaks are often signs of a larger underlying issue. While missing or damaged shingles may be the culprit, leaks can also result from:
- Damaged flashing around chimneys or vents
- Worn-out sealant around roof penetrations
- Clogged gutters that cause water to pool and seep into your home
