Urgency Score

Status

Monitor Closely

No obvious structural emergency yet, but you still need diagnostics to stop hidden moisture from compounding behind finishes.

First Move

Catch interior water, move contents, and document where the stain or drip is growing.

Safety

Avoid climbing the roof yourself, especially near roof vents, wet shingles, or power sources.

What Benson Does Next

Trace the leak path from roof penetration to interior finish damage.
Check flashing, pipe boots, vent caps, gutters, and roof-to-wall transitions.
Document conditions clearly enough for repair planning and insurer review.
