What To Do If Water Is Leaking From Ceiling?

If you find that you have a leaking ceiling, you want to get it addressed as soon as possible. Leaking roofs can cause structural damage to your home and can cause mold buildup.

There are some steps that you can do as soon as you see the leak from your ceiling.

Containing the Leak

Once you see the leak, you should do all that you can to contain the water coming out. Your furniture and your floor can become damaged quickly.

Once you see the leak, lay down plastic or towels and then get out big buckets to contain a leak. You will want to make sure that you move your furniture away from the area where it is leaking.

Release Any Water

If you see there is water leaking from your ceiling, chances are that there is water pooling. Pooling water will put a good amount of pressure on your ceiling and lead to collapse. Carefully place down towels and a large bucket.

Then you want to use a drill and drill a small hole in the center of the area where the ceiling is swollen.

The water should flow into the bucket. Ensure that you do not do this over any electrical wires or your furniture.

It is a good idea to wear safety goggles and gloves as the trapped water may be full of bacteria and debris.

Finding the Source

Another important thing that you will want to do is try to find the leak source. If you have access to your attic area, go up there and see where the water is coming from.

In some cases, where the water is will not necessarily be where the roof is damaged. Water could have flown from other areas of your roof.

If you do not have any visible damage to your roof, the leak may be an issue with your vents or flashing.

Hiring A Professional Roofing Company

The best thing you can do when it comes to having a leaking ceiling is to call a professional company out to inspect your roof. They will be able to quickly figure out where the leak is and get it repaired for you.

If you are seeing any kind of leaks coming from your ceiling, please call Eldridge Roofing today. They have many years of experience with roofing and roofing inspections.

Remember never to delay roofing repairs as it can lead to structural damage to your home and mold and mildew buildup that can harm your health.

Reviews From Our Customers

Brandon and Eldridge Roofing did a spectacular job! They were thorough and informative. The knowledge and experience that he had, was extensive and he was exquisitely professional! This was my first insurance claim for my house. He walked me through every step and let me know what to expect and/or anticipate. I would recommend to anyone who needs a knowledgeable and patient roofing company!

Spring, Texas

Michael was so thorough in explaining our options. He was nothing but professional. Everything happened as he explained it would. They did a wonderful job on our roof. And as Michael said, you couldn’t even tell they had been at our house and replaced a roof. Their clean up is remarkable. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I highly recommend Eldridge Roofing for your roofing needs!

Leasha Davis

Spring, Texas

We’re very pleased with our new roof & customer service from Mike Marriott, Ashely & the crew. The roof looks great and our seasoned adjuster even commented on the great quality materials & workmanship. The crew was fast and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. After receiving quotes from several other roofing companies I am glad that we went with Eldridge and would highly recommend them.

Miranda Harris

Houston, Texas

Eldridge Roofing was recommended to me after I suspected my roof may have been damaged during a recent storm. Brandon Holland came out and thoroughly inspected every inch of my roof. He was able to clearly explain the problem and had a solution not far behind. The entire process from start to finish was exceptional. We will definitely be using Eldridge for any future issues or projects that may come up! Thanks again!

Sarah Grant

We discovered Eldridge Roofing from a neighbor and asked them to give us an estimate. We worked with Shannon who came as scheduled and worked efficiently with our insurance company to get us the best roof for the best price. He followed through with us every step of the way and we are very pleased with the quality, professionalism and complete honesty of Shannon and the rest of Eldridge staff. Highly Recommend!

Dorothy Chapman

I have used Eldridge Roofing at one our rent houses for a roof repair, and also a full internal repair from water damage from a burst pipe. At another rent house they replaced the whole roof and it was an hour and a half drive out of town for them. They also replaced the roof at my residence. Brandon the Project Manager is very professional and thorough. I highly recommend them.
