What to do in the next ten minutes

None of this needs a roofer. All of it makes the next few days easier, and two of them materially affect what your insurance pays.

  1. Call us. (385) 329-1509. Tell us what you're seeing and where. We'll talk you through the rest of this list while we're on the phone.
  2. Move what's underneath. Furniture, electronics, anything on the floor below the drip. Water spreads along a ceiling before it comes through, so give it more room than seems necessary.
  3. Catch it, don't fight it. A bucket and towels. If the ceiling is bulging and holding water, a small hole in the low point drains it into your bucket instead of bringing the whole section down at once.
  4. Photograph everything, now. The ceiling, the walls, the floor, anything ruined, before you move or clean anything. Phone photos carry a date, and an adjuster reading them in three weeks will care about that.
  5. Kill the power if water is near it. Any circuit feeding a light or outlet in the wet area. If you're unsure which breaker, turn off the main.
  6. Stay off the roof. Wet or icy roofing is one of the most common ways homeowners get hurt after a storm, and nothing you can do up there in the dark improves the outcome.
What we get called out for

The six that can't wait until next week

Some roof problems are a scheduling conversation. These are the ones where the damage grows while you think about it.

Water pouring from a ceiling stain into a living room

Water coming through the ceiling

The clearest emergency there is. Move what's underneath, catch what you can, and call. Active leaks go to the front of our schedule.

Hailstones on a deck with a damaged roof in the background

Hail that just came through

Big hail opens shingles and dents vents. It may not leak tonight, but the next rain finds every crack. Same-week inspections after storms.

Shingles torn away near the eave after a windstorm, underlayment exposed

Shingles lifted or gone

Canyon wind peels tabs and takes whole shingles. Bare underlayment holds for a while; bare decking doesn't. Get it covered before the next storm.

Tree branch resting on a damaged roof after a storm

Something hit the roof

A branch, a trampoline, a neighbor's fence panel. Impact damage needs tarping the same day and a proper look before the hole gets bigger.

Thick ice dam and icicles on the eave of a snow-covered roof

Ice damming at the eaves

Every Wasatch Front winter. Water backs up behind the ice and comes in at the exterior walls. We clear it safely and fix the ventilation that causes it.

Fresh water stain spreading around a bedroom ceiling light

A stain that appeared overnight

A new ceiling stain after weather means water is moving right now. Photograph it, note the date, and call while the trail is fresh.

When we get there

Stop the water, then prove what happened

An emergency call is two jobs. The first is getting water out of your house tonight. The second is making sure that in three weeks you can show an adjuster exactly what the storm did, which is far harder to do after everything has dried out and been cleaned up.

  • We find the entry point, not the stain; they're rarely the same place
  • Temporary weatherproofing so the next storm doesn't undo it
  • Photographs of the damage before we touch anything, and after
  • A straight read on whether this is a repair or the start of a claim

If a storm caused it, the same photos start the insurance conversation. If it turns out to be wear rather than weather, we'll tell you that too, and a planned repair is a calmer, cheaper conversation than an emergency one. Hail rather than a leak? Here's what to do in the first 48 hours.

Straight about this

When you can actually reach us

We're a local crew, not a national call center. Our hours are Open 24/7, and when you call you'll talk to a person who knows the roofs here.

If water is actively coming into your house, call anyway, whatever the hour. Leave a message with your address and what you're seeing. Active leaks are prioritized the moment we pick up, ahead of estimates and ahead of planned work, and the list above is what we'd tell you to do on the phone regardless.

How fast someone gets on the roof depends on the weather and whether it's safe to be up there. We'd rather tell you that plainly than promise a truck and not send one.

Questions

Emergency roof repair FAQ

Do you come out at night?

Call any time, the line is answered around the clock. Leave your address and what you're seeing. We'll get someone out as soon as it's safe to be on the roof; if it's mid-storm or iced over, we'll talk you through protecting the inside until it is.

Will you tarp my roof?

Usually, yes, when the roof is safe to get on. Temporary weatherproofing comes first on an emergency call, so the next storm doesn't add to the damage before the real repair.

Does insurance cover emergency tarping?

Often, as part of the storm claim, and carriers generally expect you to prevent further damage. Keep the receipt and the photos. Your policy is the final word; ask your carrier.

How claims work →
Can I patch it myself?

Please don't get on a wet or icy roof. If you can safely place a bucket and photograph the damage from inside, that's the most useful thing you can do tonight.

What if it's an ice dam?

Don't chip at it; that breaks shingles. We remove ice dams safely and fix the attic ventilation and insulation that cause them, which is the only real cure.

How fast can you get here?

We aim for same-day or next-morning on an active leak, depending on the hour. After a big storm the whole county calls at once and we work the list in order, leaks first.

The faster we know where the water is coming in, the less of your house it gets to.
