Call (888) 509-1520 now for immediate dispatch, day or night.

What Is Emergency Roof Repair?

Let's clear up what we mean. An emergency roof repair is not the same as a full roof replacement you might schedule for next month. Think of it as first aid for your home. The main goal is to stop the damage from getting worse right now. This is about stabilization, not a permanent fix. The most common emergency service is roof tarping. Our crew will securely cover the damaged area with a heavy-duty, waterproof tarp to keep rain, snow, and debris out of your home until we can schedule a complete, long-term repair. Other emergency actions might include removing fallen tree limbs, clearing clogged gutters causing an ice dam, or quickly patching a sudden, severe leak.

Does Your Fairview Heights Home Have a Real Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a 3 a.m. phone call. Knowing the difference can keep you safe and save you money. Here’s when you should absolutely call for emergency help:

• Active, heavy water leaking into your living spaces, especially near electrical fixtures.
• A large section of roof decking or structure is exposed after storm damage.
• A tree or large limb has fallen onto your roof, compromising its integrity.
• You have major missing shingles or tiles after a windstorm, leaving the underlayment bare.
• Significant hail damage that has cracked or shattered shingles, creating immediate vulnerability.

What can often wait for normal business hours? Minor leaks confined to an attic that you can catch in a bucket, a few curled or aging shingles, or standard maintenance like moss removal. When in doubt, give us a call at (888) 509-1520. We can help you triage the situation over the phone.

How Fairview Heights Weather Wears on Your Roof

Our local climate here in St. Clair County is tough on roofs. The combination of hot, humid summers and cold, icy winters creates a cycle of expansion and contraction that stresses roofing materials. After the heavy hail we saw in Fairview Heights last spring, many homes in areas like Old Collinsville Road and Fountain Lakes had roofs that looked like they’d been peppered with golf balls. This kind of impact bruises and cracks asphalt shingles, breaking the protective granules loose.

In winter, homes in neighborhoods with mature trees, like those near Longacre Park, can be prone to ice dams. When heat escapes from the attic, it melts snow on the roof. That water runs down and refreezes at the colder eaves, creating a dam that backs water up under the shingles. Most homes here in Fairview Heights have asphalt shingle roofs, which perform well but have a shorter lifespan under these conditions. We also see beautiful historic slate on some older homes in the downtown area, which requires specialized emergency care when damaged.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Services

We believe in clear, upfront communication about cost. Emergency services have different pricing than a scheduled repair because they require immediate mobilization, often after hours or on weekends.

• Call-Out or Service Fee: Most emergency roofers, including us, have a dispatch fee to cover the immediate response. This is typically a flat rate and is part of the total repair cost.
• Tarping Costs: Emergency roof tarping cost is usually calculated by the “square” (a 10' x 10' area). The total depends on the roof’s pitch, height, and the extent of damage. We always provide a clear estimate before starting work.
• Insurance Claims: If your damage is from a sudden event like a storm, your homeowner’s insurance will often cover the emergency stabilization costs. We work directly with your adjuster and provide detailed documentation and photos to support your claim. Never wait for the adjuster to call us—mitigate the damage first to prevent further loss, which is your policyholder duty.

What to Do While You Wait for Our Crew

Your safety is the most important thing. Here is a simple checklist to follow after you’ve called us at (888) 509-1520.

DO:

• Move valuable furniture and electronics away from the leak area.
• Place buckets, pots, or bins to catch dripping water.
• Use towels to soak up water on the floor to prevent slipping.
• Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance company.
• Stay in a safe, dry part of your home.

DO NOT:

• DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and unstable. This is how serious injuries happen.
• Do not attempt to make repairs yourself, especially with electrical wiring near water.
• Do not poke at sagging ceilings, as they could collapse.

Our team aims for a response time of 60–120 minutes in the Fairview Heights area. We come equipped with the right tools, safety gear, and materials to secure your home quickly.

Local Rules and the Path to a Permanent Fix

Once your roof is stabilized, we will schedule a thorough inspection to plan the permanent repair or replacement. For a full roof replacement in Fairview Heights, a building permit from the city is usually required. This process ensures the work meets local building codes, which is crucial for your safety and your home’s resale value. We handle the permit paperwork for you as part of our full-service offering. After the work is complete, a city inspector will typically visit to ensure everything is up to standard. We coordinate this entire process so you don’t have to worry about the details.
