While not as serious as a roof leak, finding gutter leaks is better addressed sooner rather than later. If your guttering is blocked, water can back up and enter your home, causing damp, mould, and other problems in your roofing. Instead, you’re better off getting quick and inexpensive gutter repairs from your local roofing specialists.
Roof leaks can be much more severe since water has already made its way through the roof. If you find a leak inside your home, here’s what you should do:
When you first find a leak in your Farnborough home, the first thing you should do is try to contain any dripping water. You can place a bucket underneath the leak to catch any water or use towels (either paper or fabric) to mop up any water trickling down the walls.
Containing and clearing the water will help prevent further damage inside your home. If the issues have occurred due to poor weather, our storm damage repairs can certainly help.
With the water contained, you should immediately call a roofing contractor, especially if they offer emergency roofing services. After explaining the situation, they’ll provide specialised feedback for your issue.
With the roofing specialist on their way, take pictures of the leak and any damage it has caused. Depending on your insurance, photographic evidence may be required to make a successful claim, and it’s better to take pictures now than after the issue is resolved.
Your roofing contractor should have arrived and carried out their leak detection. They’ll present you with a quote for the work and may be able to start your roof repairs immediately. If it’s only a minor leak, you might find that the issue is fixed on the same day, while partial reroofing could take longer.
