Roof Leaking? Do These 6 Things Before Help Arrives.

While you wait for our contractor to arrive — which in most cities is within a few hours — these steps protect your home and your insurance claim.

1

Move valuables, electronics, and furniture

Relocate anything that can be damaged by water to a dry room. Water from a roof leak can travel far from the entry point before dripping inside.

2

Place buckets and lay down plastic sheeting

Contain active drips with buckets or containers. Lay plastic sheeting on floors and over furniture beneath the leak area to protect against splatter damage.

3

Photograph everything before you clean up

Document all interior water damage with dated photos before touching anything. These photos are critical for your insurance claim. Include ceiling stains, wet insulation, and damaged contents.

4

Check the attic if you can do so safely

If accessible and dry enough to enter safely, place a bucket under the drip source in the attic to reduce ceiling damage. Take photos of water entry points.

5

Relieve ceiling bulges carefully

If your ceiling is sagging or bulging with trapped water, carefully puncture a small hole at the lowest point with a screwdriver to drain it in a controlled way. This prevents a sudden ceiling collapse.

Do NOT go on the roof

Never attempt to access a wet, icy, or damaged roof yourself. Falls from roofs are one of the leading causes of home injury fatalities. Our licensed contractors have the safety equipment and training to do this safely.

Every hour matters. Water entering through a roof breach can cause $500–$2,000 in additional structural and interior damage per day. Call (800) 555-0100 now for immediate dispatch.

Active Roof Leak

Water is dripping or flowing inside your home right now. Even a small active leak can cause thousands in structural and mold damage within 24–48 hours.

Critical — Call Immediately

Storm Just Hit

A hailstorm, tornado, or severe thunderstorm just passed and you can see missing shingles, damage, or feel air coming through. Don't wait for the next rain event.

Critical — Same-Day Response

Fallen Tree or Branch

A tree or large branch has fallen through or onto your roof, causing impact damage and potentially punching through the deck or structural members.

Critical — Emergency Tarping Needed

Sagging Roof Deck

You can see a visible dip, sag, or structural deformation in your roof line — indicating possible rafter failure, sheathing rot, or snow load damage requiring immediate assessment.

Critical — Structural Risk

Large Section of Missing Shingles

Wind, hail, or another event has removed a substantial portion of your shingles, leaving the underlayment or deck exposed to the elements.

Urgent — Within 24 Hours

Ice Dam or Freeze Event

Ice has formed at your eaves and water is backing up under shingles, causing interior leaks and potential damage to insulation, drywall, and structural members.

Urgent — Seasonal Window

🚨 Active Leak · 2am Call
★★★★★

"I woke up at 2am to a waterfall in my bedroom ceiling. Called the emergency number and someone answered immediately. A contractor was at my house before 7am, tarped the whole roof, and documented everything for insurance. I paid my $1,000 deductible and got a full new roof. Genuinely could not have handled this without them."

Emergency Repair FAQ

We offer same-day emergency response in all 40+ cities we serve. Call (800) 555-0100 any time — our emergency line operates 24/7. A licensed contractor will arrive within hours to assess the damage and apply temporary weatherproofing to stop further interior water damage. In our Tier 1 storm markets (Dallas, Houston, Denver, OKC, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis), we maintain standing emergency crews for the fastest possible response times.
Immediately: (1) Move valuables away from drip areas. (2) Place buckets or containers under active drips. (3) Lay plastic sheeting on floors and over furniture. (4) Photograph all interior water damage with your phone — these photos are critical for your insurance claim. (5) Check the attic if it can be accessed safely. (6) Do NOT go on the roof in wet or unstable conditions. (7) Call (800) 555-0100 for immediate emergency dispatch. Every hour of delay risks additional structural damage costing hundreds more.
Yes. Emergency tarping is typically our first action on an emergency call — it stops active water intrusion immediately while permanent repairs are planned and scheduled. We use heavy-duty commercial-grade waterproof tarps secured with fasteners, not just laid on top. Tarping is available same-day, 24/7, in all service areas. In most storm damage cases, the cost of emergency tarping is reimbursable through homeowners insurance.
Emergency repairs caused by sudden events — storms, hail, wind, falling trees — are typically covered by homeowners insurance. Even emergency tarping costs are often reimbursable as part of the damage mitigation claim. We document everything from the very first visit so your claim starts with complete evidence from day one. Our team assists with insurance claim filing at no extra charge — this is included in every emergency service call.
A roof emergency is any situation where your home is actively exposed to the elements or where water is actively entering. This includes: active leaks dripping inside, large missing shingle sections after a storm, a tree or branch through the roof, visible holes or gaps in the roofing system, sagging or deformed roof deck sections, and heavy snow or ice loads causing structural stress. When in doubt, call — our dispatch team can assess the urgency over the phone and advise you on whether immediate response is necessary.
