Quick answer: Catch the water with a bucket, poke a small hole in a bulging ceiling spot to drain it, move valuables, take photos, and call a roofer. Don't climb on a wet roof.
Contain the water
Buckets, towels, and move what you can out of the way.
Relieve a bulging ceiling
A small hole at the low point lets water drain into a bucket instead of the drywall giving way.
Take photos
Of the stain, the drip and anything damaged. Your insurer will want them.
Call for a tarp or repair
The sooner the water stops, the less you'll fix later.
- Note when it started
- Note where it drips
- Note the weather
FAQ
Can I caulk the leak myself?
Caulk from the outside rarely finds the real entry point. It's usually a temporary fix at best.
Will homeowners insurance cover it?
Sudden damage often is; wear and tear usually isn't. Read your policy and ask your agent.
