Water is dripping through my ceiling — what do I do right now?

Put a bucket under the drip, then relieve the pressure: push a screwdriver through the center of the bulge to let trapped water drain in one place instead of spreading across the drywall. Move belongings, kill power to that room's ceiling fixtures, and tarp what you cannot move. Then call for drying — the cavity above is wetter than the drip suggests.

Does insurance cover roof leak water damage?

Sudden damage — wind tearing shingles, a branch strike — is typically covered for both the interior water damage and often the roof repair. Wear-and-tear leaks from an aged roof are usually excluded for the roof itself, though interior damage may still be covered. Fast professional drying with moisture documentation is what shows the insurer a sudden event, not neglect.
