A musty or mildewy odor

Water-damaged siding
Peeling paint

If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a Wisconsin roof repair contractor immediately.

What to do if your roof is leaking

While you’re waiting for a professional roof leak repair team to arrive, there are some steps that you can take to mitigate the damage:

Locate the source of the leak: Try to determine where the water is coming in from. Look for water stains or dampness on your ceiling or walls and follow the trail of water to its source.
Contain the leak: Place a bucket or container under the leak to catch the water and prevent it from causing further damage.
Protect your belongings: Move any furniture or valuables away from the leak to prevent them from getting wet. Place buckets, pots, or other containers on the ground to prevent the leak from ruining your carpet or flooring.
Temporary fix: If you cannot get a roofer to fix the issue immediately, you can use a temporary fix like roofing tape or a tarp to cover the damaged area and prevent water from entering your home. Remember to empty buckets often and pop any water bubbles that form on the ceiling.
Document the damage: If the leak has caused damage to your home, take photos and document the damage for insurance purposes.

How long can you leave a leaking roof?

It's not recommended to leave a leaking roof for an extended period of time. A leaking roof can cause serious damage to the structure of the building and the interior of the home, including damage to ceilings, walls, insulation, and electrical wiring. Additionally, a leaking roof can lead to mold and mildew growth, which can be harmful to your health. It's best to contact a professional roofing contractor soon as possible to minimize the damage and prevent any health hazards.
