Emergency Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco

Emergency Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco is the trade of stopping active water intrusion on residential and commercial roofs, usually within hours of the first drip. San Francisco roofs take a beating that most California cities never see: salt-laden fog off the Pacific, wind-driven rain from November through March, and a housing stock where Victorian-era buildings in the Mission and Hayes Valley sit beside 1960s flat-roof apartment blocks in the Richmond and Sunset. We work these roofs every week. Our technicians carry moisture meters and infrared cameras to trace where water is actually entering, because on a San Francisco flat roof the leak you see inside is often 15 feet from the breach. We handle storm damage roof leak repair, missing shingle and tile work, flashing skylight and chimney leak repair, and full flat roof leak repair. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written scope, and we back our repairs with a 10-year workmanship warranty on qualifying work.

San Francisco generates roof leak calls year-round, but the volume spikes hard from late October through March when atmospheric river systems dump 2 to 4 inches of rain in a single day. The city's building stock makes it worse: thousands of pre-1940 buildings still have original redwood framing and aging tar-and-gravel flat roofs, and the fog belt along the Sunset and Richmond districts keeps those roofs damp for weeks at a time. We serve San Francisco because the demand is constant and the work is technical. You cannot patch a San Francisco flat roof the same way you patch a shingle roof in the Central Valley. We train for this city specifically.

Emergency Roof Leak Repair Services in San Francisco

San Francisco roof leaks rarely announce themselves politely. You get a brown stain on the ceiling at 6 a.m., or a property manager calls because a tenant in the Sunset has water pooling in a light fixture. We run seven core services across the city, and every one of them is built around the question San Francisco homeowners actually ask: how fast can you stop the water and how long will the fix last? If you need emergency roof leak repair in San Francisco tonight, we answer the phone.

␁

Emergency Roof Tarping

When rain is still coming down and you need the water stopped now, we tarp your roof with commercial-grade polyethylene and secure it with weighted battens, not bricks. We tarp flat roofs in the Sunset and Richmond, pitched roofs in Noe Valley, and commercial buildings in SoMa. Typical tarp install takes 60 to 90 minutes on a standard single-family roof.

↯

Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair

Atmospheric river storms hit San Francisco with 40 to 60 mph gusts that lift shingles, tear flashing, and drive water sideways into roof penetrations. We repair storm damage across the city, from downed tree impacts in Glen Park to wind-torn underlayment on Outer Sunset roofs. We document damage with photos for your insurance claim and complete repairs to code.

Missing Shingle & Tile Roof Leak Repair

Missing shingles and cracked tiles are the number one cause of pitched-roof leaks we see in San Francisco. On the city's older homes, we match replacement shingles to existing GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed profiles so the repair blends. We also reset and replace clay and concrete tiles on Mediterranean-style homes in Ingleside and West Portal.

◒

Flashing Skylight & Chimney Leak Repair

Flashing failures around skylights and chimneys account for a huge share of San Francisco leak calls, especially on homes built before 1970. We remove failed flashing, inspect the framing underneath with a moisture meter, and install new metal flashing sealed with Henry Company roof cement and polyurethane sealant. Most flashing repairs are done in a single visit.

See details ↓05

◎

Flat Roof Leak Repair

San Francisco has more flat roofs per capita than almost any California city, and they fail in predictable ways: ponding water, seam separation, and UV breakdown on modified bitumen and EPDM membranes. We locate the leak with an infrared camera, repair the membrane, and restore positive drainage so water does not sit. We work on TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems across the city.

See details ↓06

＋

Gutter & Roof Drainage Repair

Clogged gutters and failed roof drains push water back under your roof edge and into your fascia. In San Francisco, eucalyptus leaves and fog-driven debris clog gutters fast, especially in the Sunset and Twin Peaks. We clear, reseal, and re-slope gutters and roof drains so water leaves the roof instead of finding a way inside.

See details ↓07

␁

Post-Storm Roof Inspection

After a big storm system rolls through, we inspect your roof for lifted shingles, punctures, flashing damage, and hidden moisture. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to find problems you cannot see from the ground. You get a written report with photos and a prioritized repair list, usually within 24 hours of the inspection.

Who we serve in San Francisco

Two very different jobs. One local crew.

For homes

Residential Emergency Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco

Most of our San Francisco calls come from homeowners and small property owners dealing with an active leak. The city's housing stock ranges from Victorian-era single-family homes in Noe Valley to mid-century bungalows in the Sunset, and each type has its own leak patterns. We work on all of them. Whether you have a flat roof that ponds or a pitched roof with missing shingles, we find the source and fix it right.

01Flat roof leak repair for homes

San Francisco has more flat residential roofs than almost any California city. We repair modified bitumen, EPDM, and TPO membranes on homes in the Sunset, Richmond, and Mission. We correct ponding and reseal seams so the repair lasts, not just until the next storm.

02Pitched roof shingle and tile repair

Victorian and Edwardian homes in Noe Valley, Haight-Ashbury, and Pacific Heights have pitched roofs with aging shingles and tiles. We replace missing shingles, reset cracked tiles, and repair flashing around chimneys and skylights. We match materials to your existing roof so the repair blends.

03Emergency tarping and leak containment

When rain is still falling and water is coming into your home, we tarp your roof to stop the leak immediately. We serve all San Francisco neighborhoods and can usually be on-site within 60 to 90 minutes. The tarp stays until we complete the permanent repair.

04Gutter and drainage repair for homes

Clogged gutters and failed downspouts push water under your roof edge and into your walls. We clear, reseal, and re-slope gutters on San Francisco homes, and we install gutter guards where eucalyptus and fog-driven debris are a recurring problem. Most gutter repairs are done in a single visit.

For businesses

Commercial Emergency Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco

Commercial buildings in San Francisco face different roof leak challenges than homes. Flat membrane roofs on mid-rise offices, warehouses in SoMa, and retail buildings in Union Square all have penetrations from HVAC units, vents, and signage that create leak points. When a commercial roof leaks, it disrupts tenants, damages inventory, and can shut down a business. We handle commercial emergency roof leak repair across San Francisco with minimal disruption to your operations.

Property management
Retail and hospitality
Office buildings
Warehouses and light industrial
Multi-family apartment buildings

01After-hours and weekend scheduling

We know commercial roof work cannot always happen during business hours. We schedule repairs at night or on weekends so your tenants and customers are not disrupted. For active leaks, we respond 24/7 and tarp immediately to protect your interior.

02Insurance documentation for commercial claims

Commercial storm damage claims require thorough documentation. We provide photos, moisture readings, and a written report that meets most carrier requirements. We have worked with property managers across San Francisco on storm damage claims and know what adjusters look for.

03Minimal disruption to tenants and operations

We coordinate access with your property manager, stage materials off-site when needed, and work in sections so your building stays open. For retail and hospitality clients in Union Square and SoMa, we plan around your business hours and loading dock schedules.

04Preventive maintenance programs

We offer scheduled roof inspections and maintenance for commercial buildings in San Francisco. We clear drains, reseal penetrations, and catch small problems before they become emergency calls. Preventive programs reduce long-term repair costs and extend membrane life.

Emergency Roof Tarping in San Francisco

When an Emergency Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco becomes unavoidable, our emergency roof tarping crew responds fast across neighborhoods like the Sunset, Richmond, and Mission. We understand San Francisco's aging Victorians, fog-heavy microclimates, and steep pitched roofs. Within hours, we secure exposed decking, stop active water intrusion, and protect interiors from further damage while permanent repairs are planned.

Rapid Response Across SF

Our emergency roof tarping san francisco teams stage trucks near Van Ness and the Central Freeway for quick deployment. We navigate narrow streets in Bernal Heights and Noe Valley to reach steep, multi-story homes. Tarps are anchored with weighted battens and sealed seams, keeping wind-driven rain out during atmospheric river events.

Tarping Historic Roof Profiles

San Francisco's Victorian and Edwardian roofs feature turrets, dormers, and delicate cornices. We custom-fit tarps around these irregular shapes without crushing ornamental details. For flat-roofed Marina and SoMa buildings, we use weighted membrane covers that resist ponding and UV degradation until full repairs begin.

Protecting Interiors Fast

Water travels along rafters and drips into living spaces. Our tarping includes interior moisture checks in adjacent rooms, plastic sheeting over belongings, and photo documentation for insurance claims. We also clear debris from valleys and drains so stormwater exits rather than pooling behind the temporary cover.

Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco

After a Pacific storm batters San Francisco, storm damage roof leak repair becomes urgent for homes from the Outer Sunset to Potrero Hill. High winds strip shingles, driving rain forces water through flashing, and clogged drains back up onto flat roofs. Our crews diagnose storm-related breaches, stop leaks, and restore weather-tight protection before the next front arrives.

Wind-Driven Damage Assessment

San Francisco's storm winds funnel through neighborhoods like Twin Peaks and Russian Hill, lifting shingles and tearing ridge caps. We inspect ridges, hips, and eaves for missing fasteners and creased underlayment. Repairs use high-wind-rated materials matched to your roof's existing profile and color.

Rain Intrusion Path Tracing

Horizontal rain pushes water through vents, pipe boots, and deteriorated sealant. We trace intrusion using moisture meters and attic inspection, focusing on areas where wind-driven rain san francisco patterns hit hardest. Once found, we reseal penetrations, replace gaskets, and reinforce vulnerable edges.

Flat Roof Storm Repairs

Many SoMa and Dogpatch buildings have flat or low-slope roofs that pond during heavy rain. We clear blocked drains, repair blistered membrane, and re-secure loose flashing. Where storm damage roof leak repair san francisco is needed, we patch with compatible materials and verify drainage before closing the work order.

Missing Shingle & Tile Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco

Missing shingle & tile roof leak repair in San Francisco addresses the gaps that let fog moisture and winter rain into attics across the Richmond, Sunset, and Ingleside districts. Whether a tile slipped after a wind gust or shingles blew off a 1920s bungalow, we restore the roof plane with matching materials and proven waterproofing details.

Matching Historic Roof Materials

San Francisco's older homes use clay tile, concrete tile, and dimensional shingles that are no longer standard stock. We source salvaged or color-matched replacements from regional suppliers. Each piece is fastened to manufacturer spec, preserving the roofline's original appearance and resale value.

Securing Loose Tiles

Missing tile roof repair san francisco projects often involve re-seating surrounding tiles that shifted when one blew off. We replace broken underlayment, apply new battens where rotted, and re-hang tiles with corrosion-resistant fasteners suited to the foggy coastal climate.

Shingle Replacement Details

For asphalt shingle roofs, we remove damaged courses, inspect decking for soft spots, and install new felt and shingles. Valley and ridge areas get extra attention because wind-driven rain san francisco storms exploit those seams first. We seal nail heads and finish with a clean, uniform appearance.

Flashing Skylight & Chimney Leak Repair in San Francisco

Flashing skylight & chimney leak repair in San Francisco targets the penetration points that fail first on steep urban roofs. From Noe Valley Victorians with brick chimneys to Bernal Heights homes with aging skylights, we reseal, rebuild, and replace flashing assemblies so fog moisture and storm rain stay outside where they belong.

Chimney Flashing Rebuilds

Masonry chimneys in San Francisco settle and crack, pulling flashing away from brick. We install new step and counter-flashing, cut reglets, and apply flexible sealant rated for temperature swings. This stops the slow drip that stains ceilings and rots framing around the chimney chase.

Skylight Leak Diagnostics

Skylight leaks often originate at the curb, not the glass. We inspect frame seals, weep channels, and flashing skirts. For skylight leak repair san francisco homeowners rely on, we replace failed gaskets, re-set the dome, and rebuild curb flashing with compatible metals and sealants.

Valley and Wall Flashing

Where roofs meet dormers or sidewalls, flashing must shed water quickly. We replace rusted valley metal, install new kick-out flashing, and seal terminations. These details matter in storm-driven rain san francisco events, when water is pushed sideways against vertical surfaces.

Flat Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco

Flat roof leak repair in San Francisco is essential for the many low-slope buildings in SoMa, Dogpatch, and the Mission. These roofs pond water during winter storms, and seams, drains, and penetrations eventually fail. We locate the source, repair membrane and flashing, and restore positive drainage so leaks stop recurring.

Ponding Water Solutions

San Francisco's flat roofs often lack adequate slope, allowing water to sit for days. We identify low spots, add tapered insulation or lightweight fill, and re-cover with compatible membrane. This flat roof leak repair san francisco approach eliminates the standing water that accelerates seam failure.

Membrane Seam Repair

Thermoplastic and modified bitumen membranes separate at seams over time. We clean, prime, and heat-weld or adhere new membrane strips. For older buildings, we inspect for blisters and delamination, then cut and patch affected areas before they spread.

Drain and Penetration Sealing

Clogged drains and failed pipe boots are common leak sources on flat roofs. We clear debris, re-secure drain rings, and rebuild penetration flashing with new collars and sealant. This prevents stormwater from backing up under the membrane and entering the building.

Gutter & Roof Drainage Repair in San Francisco

Gutter & roof drainage repair in San Francisco keeps stormwater moving away from foundations in neighborhoods like the Sunset, Richmond, and West Portal. Clogged downspouts, sagging gutters, and undersized drains cause fascia rot and basement flooding. We repair, replace, and re-route drainage so heavy rain exits safely and quickly.

Clearing Clogged Downspouts

San Francisco's fog and nearby trees fill gutters with debris year-round. We flush downspouts, remove compacted leaf litter, and check underground drains for root intrusion. This gutter cleaning san francisco service restores flow before the first big storm arrives.

Gutter Repair and Replacement

Sagging or separated gutters spill water directly onto siding and foundations. We re-pitch runs, reseal joints, and replace damaged sections with seamless aluminum matched to your home. Hidden hangers and splash blocks direct water away from the structure.

Roof Drainage Improvements

Some flat and low-slope roofs need additional drains or scuppers to handle intense rainfall. We evaluate capacity, add secondary drains where code allows, and install leaf guards. This roof drainage repair san francisco work reduces ponding and protects the membrane from prolonged water exposure.

Post-Storm Roof Inspection in San Francisco

A post-storm roof inspection in San Francisco is the smartest way to catch damage before it becomes a leak. After atmospheric rivers or high-wind events, we inspect roofs from the Marina to Excelsior for lifted shingles, cracked flashing, and clogged drains. Early detection saves thousands in interior repairs and mold remediation.

Attic and Interior Checks

We enter attics to look for daylight, water stains, and damp insulation. These signs reveal breaches that may not be visible from outside. Our post-storm roof inspection san francisco service includes moisture meter readings and photo documentation of every concern found.

Exterior Roof Evaluation

From the ground and roof level, we check ridges, valleys, and penetrations for storm damage. We note missing shingles, bent flashing, and granule loss. For steep Victorian roofs, we use safe access techniques to inspect areas that are hard to see from the street.

Drainage and Gutter Review

Storms often clog gutters and downspouts with debris. We verify that water flows freely and that no ponding remains on flat roofs. This storm damage roof inspection san francisco step prevents future backups and identifies drainage improvements that should be made.

How We Execute Emergency Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco

San Francisco is not an easy city to work a roof in. Narrow streets in North Beach and Chinatown mean we park a block away and carry gear in. Steep Victorian roofs in Pacific Heights and Haight-Ashbury require full safet

Narrow streets and limited parking in dense neighborhoods

In areas like North Beach, Chinatown, and the Mission, our trucks often cannot park within a block of the job. That adds setup time and means we carry tools and materials by hand, which slows the first 20 minutes of any call.

How we handle it We dispatch crews with compact gear bags and pre-staged material loads so we can start work without a second trip to the truck. For larger jobs, we coordinate a staging spot with the property owner before arrival so materials are close to the access point.

Fog belt keeps roofs damp for weeks

The Sunset and Richmond districts sit in the fog belt, where roofs stay wet long after rain stops. That trapped moisture accelerates rot in underlayment and makes sealants cure slowly, so a repair that would last 10 years inland can fail in 3 here if done wrong.

How we handle it We use moisture meters to confirm the deck is dry enough before sealing, and we spec products rated for high-moisture environments. On flat roofs, we prioritize drainage corrections so water does not sit on the membrane after the fog rolls in.

Aging flat roofs with ponding water

Thousands of San Francisco apartment buildings have flat roofs that were built without adequate slope. After a heavy storm, water ponds 1 to 2 inches deep, and that standing water finds every seam and pinhole in the membrane.

How we handle it We do not just patch the leak. We map the ponding with a level and infrared camera, then correct the slope or install a drainage path so water moves to the scupper. That is the difference between a repair that lasts a season and one that lasts a decade.

Recent work in San Francisco

Recent Emergency Roof Leak Repair Jobs in San Francisco

These are real jobs we have run in San Francisco. They show what we actually do when you call us with water coming through your ceiling, and what the outcome looks like when the work is done right.

01 Outer Sunset, near Sunset Boulevard

The problem: A Sunset District property manager called after a tenant reported water dripping from a ceiling light fixture during a three-day storm. The flat roof was ponding 2 inches deep near a scupper.
What we did: We tarped the roof the same evening to stop the active leak, then returned the next morning with an infrared camera to map the moisture. We found a failed seam in the modified bitumen membrane under the ponding water, cut out the damaged section, and installed a new reinforced membrane patch with Henry Company roof cement.
The result: The leak stopped immediately. We also corrected the slope around the scupper so water drains within 30 minutes of a storm. The property manager has not had a leak call on that building in two years.

02 Noe Valley, near 24th Street

The problem: A Noe Valley homeowner noticed a brown stain spreading on the ceiling below a skylight after a wind-driven rain storm. The skylight flashing had pulled loose on the windward side.
What we did: We removed the old flashing, inspected the framing with a moisture meter, and found the sheathing was still sound. We installed new step flashing and a counter-flashing kit, sealed it with polyurethane sealant, and replaced two cracked shingles on the adjacent slope.
The result: The repair was completed in one visit. The homeowner reported no leaks through the following winter, and the ceiling stain was dry to the touch within a week.

03 Inner Richmond, near Geary Boulevard

The problem: A Richmond District apartment building had a recurring leak in the same spot every winter. Two previous contractors had patched the surface without finding the source.
What we did: We used an infrared camera to scan the entire flat roof and found the actual entry point 15 feet from the interior stain, at a rusted metal vent pipe. We replaced the vent boot, sealed the penetration with new flashing, and repaired the surrounding membrane.
The result: The leak has not returned through two rainy seasons. The building owner saved money by fixing the real problem instead of patching the symptom every year.

San Francisco problem patterns

Common Roof Leak Problems in San Francisco

San Francisco's climate and building stock create a specific set of roof leak problems. Fog, wind-driven rain, salt air, and a huge inventory of flat roofs mean the leaks we see here are different from what you would find inland. Here are the four problems we fix most often.

Flat roof ponding and membrane seam failure

Why it happens Thousands of San Francisco buildings have flat roofs with minimal slope. After a heavy storm, water ponds and sits on the membrane, working its way into seams and pinholes. UV exposure and temperature swings break down the modified bitumen over time.

Our approach We do not just patch the seam. We map the ponding with a level and infrared camera, then correct the slope or add a drainage path so water leaves the roof. That is how we make the repair last.

Flashing leaks around skylights and chimneys

Why it happens San Francisco's older homes have original flashing that has been through decades of wind, rain, and thermal expansion. The sealant cracks, the metal pulls away, and water finds the gap. Skylights and chimneys are the two most common leak points we see.

Our approach We remove the old flashing completely, inspect the framing with a moisture meter, and install new metal flashing with proper step and counter-flashing. We seal with Henry Company roof cement and polyurethane sealant rated for high-moisture environments.

Wind-driven rain forcing water through roof penetrations

Why it happens San Francisco storms regularly bring 40 to 60 mph gusts that drive rain sideways. Water gets pushed under shingles, behind siding, and into vent pipes and roof jacks. This is why so many leaks show up during storms but not during a garden hose test.

Our approach We inspect every penetration on your roof, not just the one above the stain. We reseal vent boots, replace damaged roof jacks, and check that all penetrations are properly flashed for wind-driven rain.

Clogged gutters and failed roof drains

Why it happens Eucalyptus leaves, fog-driven debris, and years of buildup clog San Francisco gutters fast. When gutters back up, water pushes under the roof edge and into the fascia, eventually reaching the interior. Roof drains on flat buildings fail the same way.

Our approach We clear the entire drainage path, not just the visible gutter. We flush roof drains, reseal gutter seams, and re-slope gutters so water flows to the downspout. We also install gutter guards where debris is a recurring problem.

San Francisco through the year

How San Francisco Seasons Affect Roof Leak Repair

San Francisco does not have a typical California climate. We get a wet season, a fog season, and a dry season, and each one creates different roof leak risks. Here is what to expect month by month, and what you should do to stay ahead of leaks.

❊

Spring

Spring in San Francisco still brings rain through April, and the transition to warmer weather can expose damage from winter storms. We see a spike in flashing leaks and missing shingle calls as homeowners finally get on the roof to inspect.

Tip Book a post-storm roof inspection in March or April. We find and fix small issues before the dry season, when roofers are booked solid.

☀

Summer

Summer is dry, but it is also fog season along the coast. The Sunset and Richmond districts stay damp, and UV exposure breaks down flat roof membranes. This is the best time to do preventive maintenance and drainage corrections.

Tip Schedule flat roof maintenance in June or July. We can correct ponding and reseal seams while the weather is dry, so your roof is ready for the first fall storm.

❄

Fall

Fall is when the first atmospheric river systems arrive, usually in late October or November. Demand for emergency roof leak repair in San Francisco spikes hard. Gutters clog with leaves, and the first big storm finds every weak point on your roof.

Tip Clear your gutters in October and get a roof inspection before the first storm. If you wait until the rain starts, you will be in line behind everyone else.

❅

Winter

Winter is peak leak season. Storms bring 2 to 4 inches of rain in a day, wind-driven rain forces water through every gap, and flat roofs pond. This is when we run the most emergency calls, often at night and on weekends.

Tip If you have an active leak, call us immediately. Do not wait for a break in the weather. We tarp in the rain and do the permanent repair when conditions allow.

We know the route

Navigating San Francisco: Landmarks We Use

San Francisco is 7 miles by 7 miles, but the hills and one-way streets make it feel bigger. Our dispatch team uses major landmarks to route crews and give accurate arrival windows. If you tell us you are near a specific landmark, we know exactly which cross streets and which side of the hill you are on. That saves time when water is coming through your ceiling.

FSan Francisco

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks is a central orientation point for crews working between the Sunset, Noe Valley, and Castro districts. If you are on the north or south side of the peaks, we know which route avoids the steepest grades and gets us there faster.

FSan Francisco

Golden Gate Park

The park divides the Richmond and Sunset districts and gives us a clear north-south reference. Addresses along Fulton Street or Lincoln Way tell us which side of the park you are on and which access route to take.

FSan Francisco

Dolores Park

Dolores Park sits at the border of the Mission and Castro, two neighborhoods with very different roof types. Knowing you are near the park tells us whether to expect a flat roof or a pitched Victorian before we arrive.

FSan Francisco

Coit Tower

Coit Tower is a reliable marker for North Beach and Telegraph Hill, where narrow streets and steep stairways affect parking and gear access. We plan our approach around the tower's location to avoid dead-end streets.

San Francisco Emergency Roof Leak Repair FAQ

FAQs About Emergency Roof Leak Repair in San Francisco

Our team can help if your question is not answered here.

Call (877) 299-0450 →

Most emergency roof leak repairs in San Francisco run $350 to $1,200, depending on roof type, access, and the extent of water damage. A simple flashing repair on a pitched roof is usually at the low end. A flat roof membrane repair with drainage correction on a Sunset District building typically lands in the middle. We give you a written price before we start, and after-hours calls do not cost extra.

We typically have a technician on your roof within 60 to 90 minutes during normal hours, and we answer the phone 24/7 for active leaks. If you are in the Sunset, Richmond, Noe Valley, or Mission, our average arrival is 45 to 60 minutes. We tarp in the rain to stop the water immediately, then schedule the permanent repair.

Yes. Most flat roof leaks we see in San Francisco are localized failures at seams, penetrations, or ponding areas. We repair the membrane, correct the drainage, and restore the roof without a full replacement. If the membrane is more than 20 years old or has widespread failure, we will tell you honestly and give you both repair and replacement options.

Yes. We document storm damage with photos and a written report you can submit to your insurance company. We have worked with most major carriers and can provide the documentation they need. If your claim is approved, we complete the repair to code and provide a warranty on the work.

Move furniture and electronics away from the leak, place a bucket under the drip, and if water is near a light fixture, turn off the breaker to that circuit. Do not go on the roof yourself, especially in the rain. Take photos of the damage for your records. We will handle the rest when we arrive.
