What to Do If Your Roof Starts Leaking After a Storm

A leaking roof during or after a storm can be scary—but staying calm and acting fast makes all the difference. Here’s what to do:

  1. Contain the Leak Immediately
    Use buckets, towels, or tarps to prevent water from spreading inside your home.
  2. Document the Damage
    Take clear photos and videos. You’ll need them for your insurance claim.
  3. Avoid Climbing on the Roof
    Wet shingles are dangerous. Leave inspections to the professionals.
  4. Call a Roofing Expert ASAP
    The sooner a roofer inspects it, the better. Uplux Homes offers emergency services for storm damage.
  5. Contact Your Insurance Provider
    Start your claim promptly. We can provide the inspection report and repair estimate needed to support your case. 

Uplux Tip: After a storm, even a tiny leak can lead to mold, rot, and electrical hazards. Don’t wait—let us help you assess the damage safely and efficiently.
