        "text": "A **roof leak is urgent**—you should contain interior water immediately and arrange a professional inspection as soon as possible, ideally within 24–48 hours. Even a small leak can quickly damage insulation, drywall, and electrical systems.\n\nWater often travels, so the drip you see inside may be several feet away from the actual roof entry point. Surface patching without understanding the source usually fails.\n\nKey factors:\n- Size and speed of the leak (steady stream vs occasional drip)\n- Signs of ceiling sagging, electrical issues, or moldy smell\n- Roof age and known weak spots (skylights, chimneys, valleys)\n- Weather forecast (more storms coming)\n\nPlace buckets or plastic sheeting to protect belongings, and if safe, take photos of interior damage for insurance. Avoid climbing on a wet roof; instead, call a licensed roofer for an emergency visit and ask them to explain both immediate temporary fixes and long-term repair options."
