When a storm opens up a roof, the first job is stopping water getting in. We tarp, we dry it in, and then we assess properly in daylight.
South Texas storm season produces the calls nobody plans for: a tree limb through the decking, wind that has peeled a ridge, hail that has stripped a slope. The damage gets worse with every hour that water is entering the structure, so the emergency response and the permanent repair are two separate jobs and we treat them that way.
We document everything we do on the emergency visit, with photographs and timestamps, because that record is what supports an insurance claim later.
Not sure which of these you are looking at? Book the free inspection and we will photograph it and tell you.
Contain the water inside — buckets, move furniture, and switch off electrics in the affected area if water is near a fitting. Then call us. Do not go onto a wet roof.
Often, depending on your policy and the cause. What helps a claim is documentation of the damage and the emergency work, which we provide as standard.
An emergency tarp is a temporary measure — days to a few weeks depending on weather. It buys time for materials and scheduling; it is not a repair.
