Water coming in right now? Here's what to do in the next 10 minutes.
What To Do While Help Is On The Way
Contain The Water Inside
Move furniture and valuables away from the drip. Place a bucket or container to catch active water. Do not touch a sagging or bulging ceiling section.
Photograph It Before You Touch Anything
Interior water stains and any visible roof damage from the ground, photographed now, protect your insurance claim later.
Call For Emergency Tarping
A tarp stops new water from entering while the actual repair gets scheduled. This is usually same-day, even outside business hours for active leaks.
Do Not Climb On A Wet Roof
Wet shingles and tile are dangerously slick. Leave roof access to a licensed contractor with the right equipment.

The Most Common Sources Of Tampa Roof Leaks
Lifted Or Missing Shingles
Wind can lift shingle edges without fully removing them, creating a gap that lets water in during the next rain even if nothing looks obviously missing.
Cracked Flashing
The metal or rubber seals around chimneys, vents, and skylights fail over time and are one of the most common leak sources that are invisible from the ground.
Failed Underlayment
The waterproof barrier beneath shingles degrades with age even when the shingles above look fine, which is why old roofs leak without obvious visible damage.
Clogged Valleys And Gutters
Debris buildup redirects water under roofing material instead of off of it, especially during Tampaβs heavy summer downpours.
