What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch any water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few photographs of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
- Note when it leaks, and the roof's ageIn every rain, only in wind, or only in a thaw; and the year the roof went on, if you know it. Those two facts narrow the search before anyone is on a ladder.
