What should I do about water damage inside during a roof leak?
Place buckets or containers under leaks to catch water. Move valuables away from water areas. Turn off electrical circuits in wet areas if safe to do so. Open windows for ventilation preventing mold.

Can you repair my roof in bad weather?
