How Can You Get Rid Of A Rain Leak?

Be sure to understand the safety guidelines of everything you own and use. If your house has recently suffered from water damage, do not turn the power on at all costs. Avoid touching electrical appliances, and in general, do not use anything unless and until the fireteam has cleared your home. Also, look out for fallen trees and weak branches and make sure you have a professional come in and take care of it.
Assessing Damage and Fixing It
You should assess the damage to your roof from the ground instead of risking your health and climbing the top. If you have recently suffered from water problems or a hurricane, do not climb on the roof. Check for pieces of metals or any missing essential things that will point you towards the real damage. Also, make sure to take pictures of any broken things you notice while assessing for injuries, as it will, later on, help when you have to file a claim.
Tarping a Roof
That is one of the most important things to do. Tarp your roof if you notice even small damage to protect your valuables inside your home. Tarp the top until you have someone to get it permanently fixed.
You can also dig a well or trench on the slopey side of your property to collect excess rainwater.
How Can You Treat/Manage Rain Leaks Over Time?
To start, make sure you gather all the required materials required for the job. The following tools are what you’ll need:
- A high-quality tarp
- Around five pieces of the size of your bracket wooden planks
- Three ¼ inch long nails
- Screw gun and a hammer
- Ladder
- Safety gloves
Make sure to clear any debris and fallen branches and leaves. That will help you identify the exact spot that needs repairing.
