Roof Leak Detection

If there is an active roof leak, try redirecting the water and sealing the gaps. Draw a circle around the area to mark the original location and size of the leak. If the leak is significant, call a professional roofer immediately.

How to Fix a Leaking Roof from the Inside:

  • Use a bucket to collect the water.
  • Apply a generous amount of ceiling plaster to the leak and use a putty knife to cover the area evenly.
  • Let dry and seal the edges and holes.
  • Consider applying roofing tar to a shingle or piece of wood to create a barrier against water penetration.

This is only a temporary solution to prevent the leak from worsening or causing additional damage from water intrusion. We always recommend seeking advice from a professional so you can assess the situation and make permanent repairs.
