Short answer: move valuables, capture water in containers, stay off the roof, and call PRC 13 Roofing if water is entering the home. Night leaks feel urgent—but indoor safety comes first.
Immediate Steps Inside the Home
- Place buckets or bins under active drips
- Move furniture, electronics, and rugs away from the area
- Use towels or plastic on floors along the drip path
- Note whether dripping speeds up in heavy rain—that helps locate severity
- Call PRC 13 if multiple rooms are affected
What Not To Do Overnight
Do not climb ladders in rain, do not apply DIY foam on a wet roof, and do not ignore a small stain if rain is forecast for days. Sacramento storms often return before homeowners “get around to it.”
