Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while I wait to hear back?
If it's safe to do so, you can place a container to catch dripping water and move any furniture or belongings out of the way. Avoid going into the loft or onto the roof yourself.
Can a leak cause lasting damage if left?
Water ingress can affect insulation, timber, plasterboard and electrics over time, so leaks are generally best dealt with sooner rather than later.
Will you tell me exactly where the leak is coming from?
We're not able to diagnose the cause remotely. A roofing professional who contacts you would typically need to inspect the property to identify the source.
Is this covered by home insurance?
That depends on your policy and the cause of the leak — it's worth checking with your insurer directly, as RoofEnquiry isn't able to advise on insurance matters.
