Immediate Steps for Emergency Roof Leaks

When you discover a roof leak, every minute counts. Here's what to do whilst waiting for our emergency roof repair team to arrive.

Estimated Time: 15 minutes

Supplies Needed:

  • Buckets or containers
  • Plastic sheeting or tarps
  • Towels and mops
  • Camera or phone for photos

Tools Needed:

  • Phone to arrange help and photograph damage from a safe position

Step 1: Protect Your Interior Immediately

Keep people away from sagging or damaged ceilings. From a safe, dry position, move belongings away from drips and place containers beneath them. Keep clear of wet lights, sockets and appliances; do not touch electrical fittings affected by water.

Step 2: Contain the Water Damage

Contain drips only where the floor and ceiling are safe. Take photographs from a safe position for the roofer and your insurer. Avoid entering an attic with damaged timbers, standing water or uncertain footing.

Step 3: Arrange Professional Help

Call with your address, when the leak started and where water is appearing. Mention storm damage, a sagging ceiling or water near electrics. Stay off the roof and leave external tarping, gutter access and repairs to a professional with safe access equipment.
