Quick guide for owners, managers, and property management teams.

What to do now (step by step)

  1. If it’s safe, move valuables and protect flooring with plastic/towels.
  2. Take photos and video of the interior damage and the active drip point.
  3. If there’s electrical risk, shut off power to the affected area (per your protocol).
  4. Place a bucket and mark the affected area for faster inspection.
  5. Contact us with the address, roof type (if known), and a short description.

Avoid (to prevent worse damage)

  • Do not climb the roof in wind/rain or on slippery surfaces.
  • Avoid poorly secured tarps that can block drainage and cause ponding.
  • Don’t “fix” only from the inside—leak sources are often elsewhere.

What we do during the inspection

  • Diagnose the leak source and vulnerable points.
  • Provide a clear recommendation: targeted repair, maintenance, or replacement.
  • Provide documentation when applicable (photos, findings, and next steps).

Sometimes, yes (targeted repairs). If the scope is larger, we’ll propose the most efficient plan.

Do you work on residential and commercial properties?
