Stay off unsafe roofs

Do not climb on the roof during active storms, after dark, on icy surfaces, or when wind and rain make the roof unsafe.

Most emergency leak preparation can be done from inside the property or from the ground until help arrives.

Limit interior damage

Move belongings away from the leak, catch dripping water, place towels where water is spreading, and keep photos of visible damage.

If ceiling material starts sagging or electrical fixtures are involved, keep away from the area and explain that urgency when requesting help.

Prepare useful details

Share the address, photos, where the leak appears inside, when it started, and any visible damage to shingles, gutters, siding, vents, or flashing.

Clear details help BGK Handy Services understand the likely repair path and what tools or materials may be needed.
