Emergency Roof Damage: First Steps to Take

A tree on your house or a major leak can be stressful. Here are the immediate steps to take to secure your home and start the repair process.

If you experience a roofing emergency, like a fallen tree or major leak during a storm, safety is the first priority. If the situation is dangerous, evacuate the area. Once it's safe, try to minimize interior damage by using buckets to catch water. Call your insurance company to report the damage, and then call a reputable 24/7 emergency roofer like River City. We can dispatch a team to place a temporary tarp or make immediate repairs to prevent further water intrusion while you wait for a full assessment and permanent fix.
