Emergency Flat Roof Repair

When water is coming through the ceiling during a monsoon storm, the first job is to stop it. The permanent repair comes once the roof is dry.

What to do right now

  1. Move furniture and electronics, and catch drips with buckets and towels.
  2. If a ceiling is bulging with water, keep people away from it. A small puncture at the low point can relieve pressure into a bucket.
  3. Turn off power to light fixtures or outlets near the leak if water is near them.
  4. Don't climb on a wet roof during a storm.
  5. Take photos for insurance.

What we do

  • Clear clogged canales and drains so water can leave the roof
  • Temporary seals on obvious openings once it's safe
  • Tarps where needed, secured without punching new holes
  • Schedule the permanent repair once the roof dries

After the storm

Ceilings and insulation should dry fully. Wet insulation or soft drywall should come out. Monsoon season often brings several storms in a row, so get the permanent repair scheduled quickly. See the monsoon checklist.

Common questions

Will insurance cover my leak?

It depends on the policy and the cause. Sudden storm damage is often treated differently from wear and tear. Your insurer decides coverage.

Can you come during the storm?

Roof work isn't safe in lightning and heavy rain. We'll help you manage the water and get on the roof as soon as it's safe.

Is a temporary patch enough?

No. Temporary seals are meant to last until a proper repair.
