Over time, the elements damage the roof, making roof leaks almost unavoidable for many homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if not treated within 48 hours of its initial appearance, a leaking roof in Scottsdale, AZ and nearby areas can cause water damage and mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE FOLLOWING TIPS WILL GIVE YOU WAYS TO DEAL WITH YOUR LEAKY ROOF<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              How to Handle Water Damage in Your Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. If your roof leaks, water can damage furniture, clothing, electronic devices, and valuables in your home. Move these items to a dry area of your home. Cover furniture that cannot be moved with a huge sheet of plastic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Collect the leaking water with a bucket placed just below the roof leak. If water drips from the bucket onto your floor, connect a piece of thread to the ceiling and let the drops fall down the string and into the bucket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. A leaking roof may cause your ceiling to crack or bulge. If you find out this, puncture a hole in the bubble with a pin to let out the trapped water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        How to Identify and Repair the Roof Leak<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. If possible, observe the leak to your attic. Look for moisture-caused discolorations, stains, or watermarks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Remember that just because there is a gap in your roof does not necessarily imply that water is entering your home. Water can move down beams and trusses until it reaches a weak place in your attic floor, resulting in a leak.
            <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. There are several potential causes of roof leaks, including old shingles, flashing issues, malfunctioning moisture barriers, clogged gutters or downspouts, and missing shingles or caps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Schedule roof inspections and gutter cleanings twice a year to avoid future leaks and water damage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. If you’d rather not handle these tasks yourself, consider hiring a water damage restoration company for assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
