- Catch any water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few photographs of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
- Note when it leaks, and the roof's ageIn every rain, only in wind, or only in a thaw; and the year the roof went on, if you know it. Give every roofer the same facts and their quotes start from the same place.

Call (847) 534-9856Note 01Who to hire to fix a roof leak?
A roofer who traces the entry point before fixing anything. The stain is where water ended up, not where it got in, so a repair made straight above the stain often fixes nothing. Ask how they will find it, and ask to see the photographs.
Note 02Can a handyman fix a roof leak?
Sometimes. A small, obvious failure on a low, safe roof can be within reach of a handy owner or handyman. A leak nobody has traced is different: without finding the entry point, any repair is a guess, and the next rain is the test.
Note 03Why does my roof leak only in heavy rain?
Because the water gets in somewhere that only floods in a downpour or wind-driven rain: a valley that overflows, flashing that lets water in sideways, or a pipe boot that leaks when water backs up against it. Note the wind direction when it happens.
