Emergency Roof Repair Across Upstate SC

Get furniture and anything you care about away from the drip and put a bucket under it. If a patch of ceiling is bulging with trapped water, poke it at the lowest point with a screwdriver. It sounds wrong, but draining it in one spot beats letting the whole thing come down. Do not go up on a wet or damaged roof yourself. Call us, we will walk you through it, and we will get a crew out to tarp the opening.

If water is coming inside, part of the roof is open to the sky, or anything is sagging, then yes. Water moves into insulation, drywall and framing faster than people expect. A couple of missing shingles with no leak is worth fixing, but it can wait for a next-day visit.

In the rain we tarp and dry-in the opening, which stops more water getting in. That is the job during a storm. The actual repair waits until the surface is dry, otherwise the new material will not bond or seal the way it should. So it happens in two steps: stop the water now, fix it right once things dry out.

Usually, yes, for sudden storm and wind damage, and for reasonable emergency work like tarping after a covered loss. What insurers tend not to cover is slow wear or a roof that was neglected for years. We document the damage the way carriers want to see it and meet your adjuster up on the roof, so the claim rests on evidence instead of a guess.

For active leaks and storm calls in our area, it is usually the same day, and the next business day at the latest.
