What to Do While Waiting for Emergency Service
If you've called for emergency roof repair and are waiting for the contractor to arrive, take these immediate steps to minimize damage:
Contain the Water
- Place buckets, trash cans, or containers under active drips
- Put towels or plastic sheeting on floors to protect flooring
- Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from leak areas
- If water is pooling on ceiling, carefully puncture lowest point to allow controlled drainage
Document the Damage
- Take photos and videos of all leak locations and water damage
- Note the time leak was discovered and weather conditions
- Document any visible roof damage from ground level if safe
- Keep records for insurance claim purposes
Safety First
- Never climb on your roof during a storm or when wet
- Stay away from sagging ceilings that may collapse
- Turn off electricity to affected rooms if water is near outlets or fixtures
- Don't attempt DIY repairs in dangerous conditions—wait for professionals
Communicate Clearly
- Keep phone charged and accessible so contractor can reach you
- Provide clear directions and describe your home's exterior for easy identification
- Ensure contractor has access to driveway and roof entry points
- Be prepared to show contractor interior damage and describe when leak started
Emergency vs. Permanent Repairs
Understanding the difference helps you make informed decisions during stressful situations:
Emergency/Temporary Repairs
Purpose: Stop active water intrusion immediately to prevent further damage
Methods: Tarping, quick-seal patches, temporary flashing, water diversion
Duration: Days to weeks, depending on weather and scheduling
Cost: $200-$800 typically for emergency service call and temporary measures
Permanent Repairs
Purpose: Fix underlying problem properly to prevent recurrence
Methods: Tile replacement, flashing repair, substrate repair, proper sealing
Duration: Should last years to decades when done correctly
Cost: $500-$3,000+ depending on extent of damage and repairs needed
In true emergencies, contractors often perform temporary repairs first to stabilize the situation, then return when conditions allow for permanent fixes. This two-step approach prevents further damage while ensuring quality permanent repairs.
Insurance Claims for Emergency Roof Damage
Most emergency roof situations result from sudden weather events covered by homeowners insurance. Here's what you need to know:
Covered Events (Usually)
- Monsoon storm wind damage
- Hail impacts and punctures
- Tree or debris falling on roof
- Sudden mechanical failure (not age-related)
Not Usually Covered
- Wear and tear from age
- Lack of maintenance
- Pre-existing damage that worsened
- Gradual deterioration
Working with Your Insurance
- File claim immediately after discovering damage
- Take extensive photos before and after emergency repairs
- Keep receipts for emergency services and temporary repairs
- Get written estimates from contractors for permanent repairs
- Don't delay emergency repairs—insurance expects you to prevent further damage
Your roofing contractor can help document damage and provide detailed estimates for insurance adjusters. Many have experience working with insurance companies and can navigate the claims process.
Frequently Asked Questions
During active emergencies, many of our partners can respond within 1-4 hours, especially during monsoon season when they staff for urgent calls. Response time depends on severity, weather conditions, and contractor availability. We prioritize active leaks and dangerous situations.
Yes. You can call our emergency line any time. During monsoon season (July-September), multiple contractors maintain on-call availability for after-hours emergencies. Outside peak season, emergency response may take slightly longer but same-day service is usually available.
Emergency service calls typically include $150-$300 premium for urgent response, plus materials and labor for temporary repairs ($200-$800 total). Permanent repairs are quoted separately. Preventing thousands in water damage makes emergency service cost worthwhile.
Only if you're experienced and conditions are safe. Wet roofs are extremely slippery, and improper tarping can cause more damage. If you must tarp, work only in safe, dry conditions with proper safety equipment. Professional tarping is usually worth the cost to avoid injury and ensure it's done correctly.
Keep the appointment. Just because rain stopped doesn't mean the problem is gone. The contractor needs to find and repair the source before next storm. Intermittent leaks often indicate serious issues that will worsen without repair.
