If you notice that your ceiling is leaking during or after a storm, there’s a high probability that you have a leak in your roof. To save money and protect your property, you can take the following steps:

Check the Attic – Find out what’s causing the leak. Although it’s probably the roof, check common leak areas, including the flashing around a vent or fan and damaged areas of the roof. Check your AC unit or water heater for leaks as well.

Prevent Future Damage – Place a pot or pan on the area where the water is coming in until you get a more permanent solution.

Lay Down Newspaper – Doing this can help you determine if the leak is limited to one spot or is more widespread.

Determine the Damage – Examine your home’s ceiling, walls, flooring, and cabinets. Report all this information to our team to help us expedite your repairs. You should also take pictures for insurance purposes.
