Subject: The storm and your roof- Some emergency suggestions

Hello Customers and DC Homeowners,

We have managed to secure some extraordinary roofing emergencies in the last 2 days. We have been unable to return many phone calls that have been in the hundreds so we wanted to provide some storm emergency suggestions here.

First, if you have water coming in the house through the ceiling you may want to make a small incision (or several) in the ceiling plaster/drywall to enable the water to drain and, of course, have buckets or other containers at the ready to capture the draining water. This will help reduce the amount of internal damage to your ceilings.

If water is coming in through windows, we suggest using duct tape attached directly to the frame or attach plastic bags to the frame secured by the duct tape.

If water is coming in through skylight glass and you can safely access the skylight from inside your house, the duct tape method might also be useful. But, if the water flow is too great, you should just use buckets to capture it. And, possibly, make some incisions in the plaster/drywall near the skylight leak to help with drainage.

If water is overflowing your gutter and running down a wall into the house or windows, one of the above methods may be useful.

Take care everyone and best of luck.
