Five steps while the crew heads over
Ceiling leaks look bad but stay manageable. Slow the water inside. We'll handle the roof.
- Bucket under the drip, towels or plastic on the floor.
- Move laptops, rugs and papers clear.
- Wet light fixture or outlet? Switch that circuit off at the panel.
- Stay off the roof. Wet membrane is slick, and storms bring wind.
- Photograph the ceiling and visible roof damage for your insurance claim.
Match what you see to what's wrong up top
Find what you see, then read across.
| What you see | Likely cause on the roof | What we do on the emergency visit |
|---|---|---|
| Dripping ceiling or spreading stain | Membrane tear or split seam | Patch it. Heat-weld TPO seams, re-tape EPDM. |
| Water near a wall after storms | Lifted flashing | Re-secure and seal the flashing. |
| Ponding that won't drain | Clogged roof drain or scupper | Clear it and check the membrane below. Fixing standing water for good comes later. |
| Blistered or bubbling membrane | Trapped moisture | Moisture detection, then patch. Torched cap patch on modified bitumen. |
| Sections torn or peeled after wind | Wind damage | Tarp and secure the area. |
Low-slope roofs on every kind of building
- TPO
- EPDM
- Modified bitumen
We take emergency calls on row houses, attached homes, multi-family and apartment buildings, mixed-use buildings, storefronts and commercial buildings. That's TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen, and we repair all three.
Emergency flat roof repair stops the water: tarping, patching, seam or flashing repair, drain clearing. Once the roof dries, we inspect it and book the full flat roof repair that follows. That keeps interior damage from spreading.
