Take Action

Preventing water from seeping into the underlying elements of your roof is top priority when facing sudden roof damage. Your first action should be to find quick ways to cover and protect exposed elements from water and moisture. Once the threat of rain or water damage has passed, the tarp can be removed, and an assessment can be made for repairs.

What Causes Unexpected Roof Damage?

The culprit for unexpected emergency repairs is usually severe weather. Roof repair companies will usually wait until after the storm has passed to inspect the damage and create a strategy for restoration. There is nothing that can be done during a storm, and the safety of contractors and your property is priority. If your roof has been significantly damaged in a storm, your family’s safety should be your top concern. Get out of the house if necessary and assess the damage once the storm has passed.

Remain Calm

An emergency roof repair can cause many homeowners to panic, but it is important to stay calm and take action as soon as it is safe. Contacting your insurance provider is a smart first step. Be cautious about “storm chasers” who follow severe weather patterns and take advantage of panicked families with severe damage. Make sure the roof contractors you choose can show you their references and have experience working in high-risk situations. A trained team that works quickly to prevent further damage and create a plan for a long-term solution is crucial in an unexpected roof repair.
