Friend have a leak roof? My mate has told me that her roof have leaked slightly...

My mate has told me that her roof have leaked slightly and is leak into her bedroom and lounge BUT she wont get anything done. I've suggested for the Dutch auction of her property that she claims on her insurance but she says she'll hang about until ashe has the money to hold repairs done which could take months! What would you do if you be her?
If she won't do it, you can't make her. Tell her, though, that it will cost seriously less to fix it very soon than it will when the entire ceiling is on the floor. Good luck.


It depends upon what sort of roof she have. If the roof is made of petroleum based singles, you could grasp a gallon of "wet patch" - a sort of roof asphalt.

Then you crawl up on the roof and give it a look. Try to integer out where on the roof is the soak inside her house - and the leak on the roof will be nearby - or above there.

If you find the hole, put some pitch in it - or ask almost "webbing" to use to hold the tar surrounded by place.

Often you won't find an obvious trickle on the roof - so you just hold to fix what looks bad and hope it works.

You'd better carry that patched.
Answers:    In addition to the other answers, I'd similar to to add that the longer she wait the more the roof and dwelling are to sustain additional despoil and if the dwelling is insured, the insurance company may not cover the damage after a positive period of time or may cover up to a enduring monetary amount.

If she thinks she have problems now, waiting is making matter worse. In addition to structural integrity of the roof and ceiling, nearby is also the added health problems of MOLD.
