Roof leak in top-floor hallway during heavy rain
A leak appeared in the top-floor hallway during a summer storm. Temporary containment is in place; a roofing survey is scheduled to scope permanent repairs.
The leak was reported within an hour of the storm starting. The manager positioned buckets and towels immediately, then booked a roofing survey to identify the failure point without waiting for the next storm.

- •Contain first, diagnose second; every hour of standing water adds to the repair bill.
