9 Things To Do When Your Roof Leaks
First, control the interior damage as quickly as possible.
Remove the water.
Call your insurance agent.
Inspect the roof, inside and out.
Clear the gutters and downspouts.
Inspect the flashing.
Look for hidden damage.
Check for pests.
Call a licensed roofing contractor.
Re-roofing can be expensive, so be sure to get several estimates from different contractors before selecting someone to do the work. Verify that the contractor you choose is licensed, has insurance and will apply for the proper municipal permits to do the work. Do not allow the contractor to begin work on the house if permits have not been issued and make sure the contractor replaces all of the damaged wood prior to re-roofing the house. After the roof work is complete, ask the contractor to go over proper roof maintenance with you, and be sure to get a final inspection from your municipal housing authority.
