Roofing
Active leak or water dripping inside during rain
Likely cause, what to safely try first, and whether it gets worse if you wait.
Likely cause
Damaged/missing shingles or failed flashing letting water through.
What to try first
- Place a bucket or tarp to catch water and protect belongings underneath.
- Take photos of the interior water stain's location and size for the roofer's quote.
⚠ This tends to get worse (and more expensive) the longer it's left unaddressed — worth acting on soon.
