What to Do Right Now

Catch the water with buckets and towels, and move furniture and electronics away.
Relieve a bulging ceiling. If a stain is sagging with water, poke a small hole at the lowest point so it drains into a bucket instead of collapsing.
Check the attic if it's safe, and look for wet insulation or a visible drip.
Photograph the damage for your records and any insurance claim.
Stay off the roof, especially when it's wet or icy.

Where Roof Leaks Usually Start

Cracked rubber boots around plumbing vents
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and walls
Valleys where two roof slopes meet
Missing or damaged shingles

Water travels along rafters and decking before it drips, so the ceiling stain is often several feet from the actual leak. That's why tracing the source matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a roof leak an emergency?

Active leaks can damage ceilings, insulation, and wiring quickly. Request service promptly, and turn off power to any light fixture that's getting wet.

Will a tarp help?

A properly secured tarp can limit damage until repairs, but don't climb onto a wet or steep roof yourself.

Does insurance cover roof leaks?

Leaks caused by sudden storm damage are often covered; leaks from age and wear usually aren't. Check your policy. → Storm damage
