Many people never expect to have a severe leak in their roof. When water starts dripping into your home, it doesn’t take a roofing expert to know that damage is being done and the leak needs fixed as soon as possible to keep it from getting worse. Even if you call a roofing company right away, it might take them a while to make it to your home to do the repair. In the meantime, our roofing repair experts Coates Bros. want to make sure you know what you can do to minimize damage from that leak.
1. Call your insurance company!
Your insurance company can usually put a tarp on your roof over the leak to hold you over till repairs can be made. Calling them first can save you a lot of time and damage. This might be a great step to take if you can’t get the repair done right away.
2. Move any furniture or belongings that could get damaged from the leak.
If you have a leak in your home and personal belongings are in the path of the incoming water, make sure you move those items if possible! If you can’t move them, put a tarp or trash bags over them to protect them from water damage. Use a bucket to catch the water from the roof leak.
