Heavy storms and nor’easters are no strangers to Maryland. If your roof starts leaking after a major weather event, acting quickly can save you thousands in damage. Here's what to do—and what not to do.

Step-by-Step Guide After a Leak:

1. Contain the Water: Use buckets or tarps to protect your interior.

2. Document the Damage: Take clear photos of the ceiling, attic, and any water entry points.

3. Call a Local Roofer Immediately: A fast inspection can stop further damage.

4. Notify Your Insurance Company: Use your documentation to support a potential claim.

5. Avoid DIY Patching: Temporary fixes can make things worse if done incorrectly.

Why Leaks Are So Common in Maryland:

• Frequent freeze/thaw cycles

• High humidity and poor ventilation

• Aging asphalt shingles in coastal or wooded areas
