First: Contain the Water

A roof leak needs fast action to limit damage. As soon as you notice one, move or cover furniture and valuables, and place a bucket or container to catch dripping water. If water is pooling in a ceiling (a bulging spot), carefully puncturing the low point with a small hole can release it in a controlled way and prevent a larger collapse — better one clean drip than a soaked ceiling.

Protect and Document

• Reduce interior damage — move belongings, lay down towels, and catch water where you can.
• Document everything — photograph the leak, water damage, and any visible cause. This helps with insurance.
• Don't climb on the roof — especially in wet or stormy conditions. It's dangerous, and a professional can tarp it safely.
• Call for emergency service — the faster the leak is stopped, the less damage to your home.
