AI prompts for roof leaks and envelope problems.
Triage roof problems from inside, document for insurance, and call the right pro. These workflows are designed to keep you off the roof — falls from height are the leading cause of homeowner injury.
Active roof leak during rain
“Water is dripping from my ceiling right now.”
Use when
- Active leak visible during or after rain.
- Wet drywall, ceiling stains, or buckets needed.
- Storm just passed and damage is visible.
What H0U53 produces
- Triage from inside (catch water, photo, move valuables, watch for sag).
- Why you should NOT climb the roof during or after a storm.
- What to document for insurance.
- When to call a mitigation company vs. a roofer.
prompt
Water is dripping from my ceiling during a rainstorm right now. Help me triage this safely from inside. Ask me first: - How fast is it dripping? - Is the ceiling visibly sagging or bulging? - What's directly above the leak (attic, second floor, roof)? - Any electrical fixture (light, fan) in the wet area? Then walk me through: - Immediate safe actions (catch water, move valuables, photograph) - Why I should NOT go on the roof during or after the storm - Electrical safety (don't touch wet fixtures, may need to kill the circuit) - What to document for an insurance claim - When to call a 24-hour mitigation company vs. waiting for a roofer Do not invent square-footage or insurance limits — say "verify with your policy."
Brown stain on the ceiling
“There's a brown water stain on my ceiling but no active leak.”
Use when
- Discolored circle or ring on the ceiling.
- No active drip — past leak that may or may not be ongoing.
- Unknown source.
What H0U53 produces
- Likely sources (roof, attic plumbing, HVAC condensation, upstairs bathroom).
- Triage questions to narrow it down.
- Why a ceiling stain alone doesn't tell you the source.
- When to involve a plumber vs. a roofer vs. an HVAC tech.
prompt
There's a brown water stain on my ceiling but no active leak right now. Help me figure out where to look first. Ask me first: - Which room and where on the ceiling? - What's directly above (attic, bathroom, AC unit, none of those)? - Stain growing, shrinking, or stable? - Recent rain, plumbing fixture use, or HVAC activity correlating with the stain appearing? Then walk me through: - The most likely sources for that location (roof, plumbing, HVAC condensation) - Safe-from-the-floor diagnostic questions - Why the stain alone can't tell me which trade to call - A prioritized investigation order Use "possible," "likely," "verify." Don't tell me to crawl into the attic.
Missing or damaged shingles after a storm
“I can see damage to my roof from the ground after a storm.”
Use when
- Visible missing shingles, lifted shingles, or debris.
- Recent storm with high winds or hail.
- Considering an insurance claim.
What H0U53 produces
- What to document from the ground (photos, dates, weather records).
- Why you should NOT inspect from the roof yourself.
- How to think about insurance claims vs. paying out of pocket.
- Roofer call script with documented damage.
prompt
My roof has visible damage after a storm — I can see missing shingles from the ground. Help me document it and decide what to do next. Ask me first: - Date of the storm and approximate wind / hail conditions? - How old is the roof? - Do I have a recent inspection report? - Have I noticed any interior leaks yet? Then walk me through: - What to document from the ground (photos, drone optional, weather records) - Why NOT to climb on the roof myself - How to think about an insurance claim (deductible vs. claim impact) - Roofer call script with the documented damage Don't invent insurance specifics — say "verify with your policy and your jurisdiction."
