The first 24 hours
A short list. Do what you can, and don't take risks.

Stay safe
Keep away from downed power lines and from rooms with a sagging ceiling. Don't climb onto the roof.
-
Slow the water down
Move what you can away from the leak. Put down buckets and towels.
-
Take photos
Photograph the damage inside and out, from the ground, before anything is moved or cleaned up.

How emergency tarping works
A tarp is a short-term fix. It keeps the rain out so your home can dry while we plan the real repair.
Call for a tarp, any hour: (813) 555-0142
-
You call
Any time, day or night. Tell us where the water is coming in.
-
We cover the damage
We put a tarp over the damaged part of the roof to keep the water out.
-
We come back to fix it
When the weather clears, we inspect the roof and give you a written quote for the repair.
Help with your insurance claim
We don't handle your claim, and we can't promise what your insurance will cover. What we can do is give you a clear record of the damage.
- Photos of every part of the roof
- A written list of the damage, in plain words
- A written quote for the repair
You send these to your insurance company. If your insurer has questions about the roof, we're happy to answer them.
