What counts as a roofing emergency

  • Water coming through the ceiling
  • A tree or large limb on the roof
  • Part of the roof blown off or open to the sky
  • Storm damage that's letting rain in

What to do right now

Stay off the roof. Move people and belongings away from the leak, and put buckets or towels under drips. If water is near lights, outlets or the electrical panel, keep clear of that area. If a tree is on the house, stay out of the rooms under it. Take photos once it's safe.

Tarping and temporary repairs

Many roofing companies offer emergency tarping. A tarp is a temporary fix that keeps water out until the roof can be repaired properly. Tell us in your request if you need it.

About timing

We can't promise when a roofer will arrive. It depends on the roofer's schedule and on conditions, especially after a big storm when many homes are hit at once. Choose As soon as possible on the form so the roofer knows your request is urgent.
