Location of roof-leaks need to be marked on the floor with a big 'X' marks the spot, and left there until the roofer comes.

1. First, as soon as you see the leak, put a quarter down on the floor right where the drop is falling (even if it is wet

2. Then go acquire these things:

A mop and bucket if there is a lot of water, but at least a rag/handtowel in order to at least temporarily dry off the floor so the tape (marking an 'X') will stick

Two big pieces of painter's tape to make the 'X' on the floor (most important)

  • Note: Tape can be found in sudo room, currently they are tied to the ladder at the base of the staircase that goes to the ballroom stage

A permanent marker (Sharpie), if you can find one

3. With the floor quickly dry, put the big 'X' on the floor with the tape, and write on it 'LEAK - Do Not Remove'

4. Describe the leak and its location (take a celphone picture, if you can!) in an email and send it building@lists.omnicommons.org or discuss@lists.omnicommons.org. The roofer will then be called.

5. The roof is guaranteed and so the roofer will come and fix it asap. But he cannot fix the leak if he does not know its location, so this step is necessary. Thanks :)
