What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Stop the water reaching anything elseA bucket under the drip, furniture and rugs moved, and photographs of the stain before it is touched. Stay away from wet ceilings near a light fixture and turn that circuit off if it is safe to.
- Note which room, and what is above itA skylight, a dormer, a chimney, a porch or bay roof with metal on it. On a Montville custom house that one detail often points straight at the joint where the water is getting in.

Call (973) 360-8466Note 01How long can you leave a leaking roof?
A small, steady drip in one spot, caught in a bucket, can usually wait a few days for a proper repair. A leak running down inside a wall cannot wait long, because it is wetting framing and insulation you cannot see. Water near a light fixture or a sagging ceiling cannot wait at all.
Note 02Who to hire to fix a roof leak?
A roofer who traces the entry point before fixing anything. On a custom roof with dormers and valleys the stain is often well away from the cause, so ask how they will find it, not only what they will charge.
Note 03Is it expensive to fix a roof leak?
Usually not. The fix is often a pipe boot, a flashing or a few shingles, inside the published $300 to $1,500 bands. What makes a leak expensive is leaving it, because the water keeps working on the framing and the ceiling while it runs.
