What To Do Immediately
- Note the approximate time the leak or staining started, for your insurance claim

- Turn off electricity to any light fixture or fan near the leak if water is dripping close to it
- Check the attic above the affected area (if safely accessible) for a possible roof leak source

- Do not stand directly underneath a sagging or bulging section of ceiling
- Do not ignore a small stain assuming it will simply dry out and stay gone on its own
