Emergency Roofing

Emergency roofing repairs are best done by a professional roofing company. Damaged structures are dangerous and roofs can be slippery or unsound. DIY roof cover-ups are not as effective as professionally installed cover-ups and roofing companies have access to stronger materials than big box home improvement stores carry. They can even shrink wrap roofs with missing decking, damaged structural supports, and missing walls.
Roof Cover-Ups

After a severe storm or natural disaster, many home and business owners are tempted to tarp the roof themselves. It is important to protect the building but installing a tarp is dangerous and must be done properly to be effective. This is especially true for buildings that have extensive structural damage from downed trees, storm debris, and fires. In an emergency, professional roofers can come and install a cover-up quickly, safely and effectively.
Wind Damage

If your home is damaged by heavy winds, downed trees or wind-blown debris, it’s important to call a professional roofing contractor immediately and have the damage inspected. Following a natural disaster or severe storm, construction repairs, debris removal and insurance claims can be delayed so it’s best to temporarily repair the wind damage by using a roof cover-up such as a tarp or plastic sheeting or a profession roof wrap to keep water out and protect the rest of the structure from further damage so a permanent repair can be made.
Fire Damage

After a fire, it’s critical to temporarily board up or wrap missing windows and walls and damaged roofs. This protects the building from further damage and allows proper cleaning and drying. Once the structure is cleaned and sanitized, the restoration process begins, and repairs such as replacing windows, repairing roofs and floors, and repairing drywall can restore homes and businesses to their pre-fire condition.
Leak Repairs

If the leak is caused by severe weather repairing it can take some time since insurance companies and qualified contractors will be swamped. If your roof is leaking and you cannot repair it immediately, it’s better to have a temporary repair done than to wait and risk further damages to the building. Minor leaks can be stopped by tarp covers, plastic sheeting or roof wraps until a permanent repair can be done.
Temporary Repairs

Temporary repairs not only protect the building and everything inside from further damage, they also allow proper remediation and repairing to be done. After a fire or severe storm, the building must be thoroughly dried and cleaned before repairs can begin. A temporary repair allows for proper drying and cleaning so repairs can be completed properly.
Whether your roof has just sprung a leak or was damaged by severe winds, fire or a storm, the first step is an emergency roof repair. Emergency repairs prevent additional damage and allow cleaning and remediation to begin. In an emergency, it’s best to call a professional roofing contractor who can install a temporary repair safely and quickly. There is a wide variety of solutions and they will be able to help you choose the best solution.
