What Is a Real Roofing Emergency?
Sometimes it is hard to know what needs fixing right now and what can wait until Monday. A real emergency means water is actively coming into your home or could at any moment. Think of a large tree limb punched through the roof. Or shingles ripped off in a line by wind, letting the rain pour right in. After the heavy hail we had last spring near Rockbridge Road, many homes had what looked like small dents, but those dents cracked the shingles and let leaks start weeks later. Emergency roofing is about stopping the damage *right now*. We do not do the full repair in the middle of the night. First, we make your roof safe and dry. We call this "stabilization." The most common fix is professional roof tarping. We secure heavy-duty tarps to stop water and wind. Then, once the storm passes, we can schedule the permanent repair.
Common Emergencies in Our Area
- Wind Damage: Georgia storms can send debris flying and lift shingles right off, especially on older roofs in neighborhoods like Henderson Park.
- Hail Damage: Hail can crack asphalt shingles and dent metal vents, creating hidden leaks.
- Falling Limbs: The beautiful, tall trees in Mountain Park can drop heavy branches during ice storms or high winds.
- Sudden Major Leaks: When you see water dripping from a ceiling light or running down a wall, that is an emergency call.
How Mountain Park Weather Wears on Your Roof
Our local climate plays a big part in roof problems. Our humid summers can make attic wood rot faster if there is poor ventilation. Our hot sun bakes asphalt shingles, making them brittle over time. And our occasional winter ice can lead to "ice dams" at the roof edge, forcing melted water back up under the shingles. Many homes here, especially the charming bungalows in Old Mountain Park, have traditional asphalt shingle roofs. They are great, but after 15-20 years of our weather, they need a watchful eye. Knowing your roof’s age and material helps you know its risks.
Understanding the Costs of Emergency Help
We believe in being clear about costs from the start. Emergency services happen outside normal business hours, so there are different factors.
- Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers sending our crew to your home immediately, day or night. For most homes in the Mountain Park area, this fee starts around $250.
- Emergency Tarping: The cost to tarp your roof depends on the size of the damage and how steep the roof is. For a standard patch job, you might expect $300 to $800. The goal is to stop the leak and protect your home’s interior, which is far more valuable.
- Insurance: Most storm damage is covered by homeowners insurance. We work with all major insurers and can help you with the claim process. Often, emergency tarping and the deductible apply to your claim. Take photos of the damage before we arrive for your records.
The total cost for the final, permanent repair will be quoted once we can do a full inspection in daylight. The emergency service is about stopping the bleeding first.
When Should You Call an Emergency Roofer?
When in doubt, call. It is better to be safe. Here is a simple guide:
Call Immediately (Day or Night):
- You see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
- Water is pouring or steadily dripping inside your home.
- A large section of shingles is missing or a tree limb is on your roof.
- Your ceiling is sagging or bulging with water weight.
It Can Likely Wait for Normal Hours:
- A few granules in the gutter after a storm.
- A single, tiny leak you can catch in a bucket that is not near electrical.
- Minor cosmetic damage with no sign of water inside.
Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait
Your safety is the most important thing. Here is what to do after you call us at (888) 509-1520.
- DO move furniture and valuables away from the leak. Use buckets and towels to catch water.
- DO turn off electricity to any wet areas or rooms if it is safe to access your breaker box.
- DO take clear photos and videos of the damage, both inside and out (from a safe distance).
- DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and dangerous. Let the professionals handle it.
- DO NOT try to make permanent repairs yourself. Improper tarping can cause more damage.
- DO NOT ignore sagging ceilings. They could collapse. Poke a small hole in the lowest point to relieve water pressure into a bucket, and stay out of the room.
Local Rules for Roof Repairs in Mountain Park
Once the emergency is handled, you will need a permanent fix. For major repairs or a full roof replacement in Mountain Park, a building permit from the city is usually required. The rules ensure the work is done to the latest Georgia building codes, which is important for your safety and your home’s value. As your local roofer, we handle the permit process for you. After the work is done, a city inspector will come to make sure everything meets code. This step is crucial, especially for insurance claims. We know the local inspectors and the process, making it smooth for you.
