When Roof Trouble Strikes in Salisbury, We're Here

Waking up to a drip, drip, drip in the middle of the night is a sound no Salisbury homeowner wants to hear. Maybe it started with that violent thunderstorm that rolled through last evening, or perhaps the heavy snow and ice from a brutal Pennsylvania winter have finally taken their toll. From older homes near the Salisbury Township park to modern builds off of Interstate 78, your roof is your first line of defense. When it's compromised, you need help fast. That's what emergency roofing is all about: stopping the damage now so you can breathe easy and plan the permanent fix later.

What Counts as a Real Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a midnight call. So, what is a roofing emergency? It’s any situation where waiting until normal business hours could cause significant damage to your home's structure, interior, or your family's safety.

Call us immediately for:

• A large, active leak pouring into a living space.
• Water coming through light fixtures or electrical outlets (a major fire hazard).
• Missing or collapsed sections of roofing after a severe storm.
• A tree limb or other debris that has punctured the roof deck.
• Major wind damage that has peeled back a wide section of shingles.

Situations like a few missing shingles or a small, slow drip into an attic might be urgent, but they can often wait for a morning appointment. When in doubt, just pick up the phone. We'd rather you call and get peace of mind.

Salisbury's Climate and Your Roof

Our local weather is tough on roofs. Salisbury sees hot, humid summers where asphalt shingles can bake, and then sudden, intense thunderstorms with hail and high winds. Winters bring heavy snow and the dreaded ice dams—those ridges of ice that form at the roof's edge, trapping meltwater that can seep under shingles and into your home. In historic neighborhoods like Fountain Hill or along the older streets of Allentown's west side, you'll find classic slate and wood shingle roofs that need special care. In newer developments, asphalt shingles are common. All these materials can fail under extreme conditions, which is why having a trusted emergency roofer in your contacts is smart.

Understanding the Costs: From Tarping to Full Repair

One of the first questions we hear is, "How much is emergency roof repair?" Let's break it down.

First, most emergency roofers, including us, have a call-out fee. This covers the immediate dispatch of a crew and our initial assessment. Think of it like an emergency room visit fee—it gets you in the door for urgent care.

The most common immediate fix is roof tarping. We secure heavy-duty tarps over the damaged area to stop water from entering. Emergency roof tarping cost depends on the size and pitch of your roof, but we provide clear estimates upfront. This is a temporary stabilization, not a permanent repair, but it protects your home.

If the damage is from a covered event like a storm, your homeowner's insurance will often cover these emergency mitigation costs. We work directly with many adjusters right here in Lehigh Valley and can help guide you through the claim.

When Should You Call an Emergency Roofer?

Trust your gut. If you see water spreading across a ceiling, hear dripping in multiple spots, or notice daylight coming through your roof where it shouldn't, it's time to call. After the heavy hail we had in Salisbury last spring, many folks in the Mountainview area waited, hoping a small leak would stop. Unfortunately, water traveled along rafters and caused extensive hidden damage to walls and insulation. Acting fast limits the problem to one area.

A Safety Checklist While You Wait for Our Crew

Your safety comes first. Here’s what to do after you call Salisbury Emergency Roofing at (888) 509-1520.

DO:

• Move furniture, rugs, and electronics away from the leak.
• Place buckets or bins to catch water.
• Mop up standing water to prevent slips and floor damage.
• Take pictures of the damage for your insurance company.
• Turn off electricity to any wet areas if it is safe to do so.

DO NOT:

• Do not climb onto a damaged or wet roof. It is extremely dangerous. Leave that to the professionals.
• Do not poke at sagging ceilings, as they could collapse.
• Avoid using electrical appliances near water.

Salisbury Rules for Roofing Work

Once the emergency is stabilized, you may need a permanent repair or full replacement. In Salisbury and surrounding townships, most major roofing work requires a building permit. This ensures the work meets Pennsylvania's building codes for your safety. The good news? As your local roofer, we handle the entire permit process for you, from application to scheduling the final inspection. You won't have to worry about paperwork or city hall visits.
