Roofing

As a homeowner, if you find yourself in a situation where your roofing assembly requires immediate roofing repair, you need to deal with the problem right away to prevent the situation from getting worse and from endangering the lives of your family.

Your roof may be severely damaged by inclement weather conditions like non-stop rains and strong winds of varying degrees of intensity. As a result, your roof is likely to break down and suffer some kind of damage like cracks, holes, loosened fasteners and leaks. Emergency repairs are necessary and the best solution is to get in touch right away with a professional roof repair contractor. You should familiarize yourself with a company which is on call 24/7 in times of emergency.

What can you do in the meantime if you fail to contact or while waiting for the roofing contractor? For any leaks inside your place, you have to address the problem with, plastic sheeting, sealants and water containers. Do not attempt to do any roof surveillance at night to avoid any risky encounters. As soon as the weather permits and preferably during daytime, you and your assistant can inspect the roof assembly for a preliminary evaluation of the roof damage. Arm yourself with the necessary gadgets to take some video and photos of the condition of your roof.

You need also to store some basic tools, equipments and roofing materials to perform “temporary” patching, repairs and clean up of debris in times of urgency such as garden hose, compressor, ladder, hammer, plywood scraps, metal sheets, roof flashing, measuring tapes, caulking gun, caulks, nails, staple gun, tin snips, patches, rubber sheets, emergency waterproof sealants, tarps duct tape, etc. To learn some basic technical know how for do-it-yourself roof repairs, you need to view “how to videos” and read articles in the web, books and magazines about emergency roof repair works.

After you have done the emergency temporary action, a reliable roofing professional has to enter the picture. For permanent roofing repair solutions, remember that the services of a licensed roofing contractor are valuable when you intend to file some insurance or roofing material manufacturer’s warranty claims. The expertise, skills, resources and equipments of a highly experienced emergency crew is what you need to bring about urgent repairs. Likewise, they can also provide you the necessary supporting documents including the itemized scope of work and repair services, costing, photos, videos and drawings you may need.
