What Exactly Is Emergency Roofing?

First, let us clear up what emergency roofing means. It is not the full roof replacement you might plan for next summer. Emergency roof repair is all about stabilization and damage control. The goal is to stop the problem from getting worse until a permanent fix can be arranged. Think of it like putting a bandage on a cut to stop the bleeding before you see the doctor.

A real roofing emergency is any situation where water is actively entering your home or the structure of your roof is at immediate risk. This includes a large leak during a rainstorm, a section of roofing torn off by wind, or a tree limb that has crashed through your roof. It is a problem that cannot wait until Monday morning.

Why Cottonwood Heights Roofs Face Unique Challenges

Our local climate puts special stress on roofs. Winters bring deep snow loads. When that snow melts and refreezes at the eaves, it creates ice dams—a major source of leaks for homes in areas like Highland Estates. Summers can bring intense hail, like the storm we saw last spring that damaged dozens of roofs near the Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center. The freeze-thaw cycle throughout the year can shorten the lifespan of asphalt shingles, a very common material on the many split-level and rambler homes built here in the 60s and 70s.

Older neighborhoods with mature trees, like those near Butler Park, also face risks from falling branches. Knowing these local risks helps us prepare and respond faster when you call.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Action

We believe in clear, upfront communication about costs. Emergency services differ from standard business-hour repairs.

• Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: To mobilize a crew and truck after hours, on weekends, or on holidays, there is typically an emergency dispatch fee. This covers our immediate response and is separate from repair work. In Cottonwood Heights, this fee generally ranges from $150 to $300.
• Tarping and Stabilization: The most common emergency service is roof tarping. We secure heavy-duty tarps over the damaged area to prevent water intrusion. Cost depends on the size and pitch of your roof but often falls in the range of $300 to $800 for the initial containment. This is a critical, temporary fix.
• Insurance: The good news is, if the damage is from a sudden, covered event like a storm, your homeowner's insurance will often cover these emergency stabilization costs. We can help guide you through the initial steps of documenting the damage for your claim.

When Should You Call an Emergency Roofer?

Not every roof issue is a 2 a.m. phone call. Here is a simple guide.

Call Us Immediately (Day or Night):

• You can see daylight through your roof.
• Water is actively pouring or steadily dripping inside your home.
• A large section of shingles or roof decking is missing.
• A tree or large branch has penetrated the roof.
• Your roof is sagging—this indicates a possible structural issue.

It is Okay to Wait for Business Hours:

• A few shingles are loose or missing, but the underlayment is intact and the weather is dry.
• You notice minor granule loss from aging shingles.
• There is a small, isolated leak in an attic space that is not threatening your living areas.

When in doubt, give us a call at (888) 509-1520. We would rather help you assess the situation over the phone than have you risk further damage.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Once you have called us, here is what to do—and NOT do—until our crew arrives.

DO:

• Move furniture, rugs, and electronics away from the leak.
• Place buckets or bins to catch dripping water.
• Use a mop or towels to soak up standing water.
• Take photos and videos of the damage for insurance.
• Stay in a safe, dry part of the 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 unless it is simply placing a bucket.
• Avoid touching sagging ceilings, as they could collapse.
• Do not turn off your main electrical power unless water is near your electrical panel. If it is, contact an electrician.

Navigating Local Rules and Permanent Repairs

Once the emergency is contained, you will need a permanent repair. In Cottonwood Heights, most major roof replacements require a building permit from the city. The process ensures the work meets Utah building codes for snow load and wind resistance. As your local roofer, we handle the permit process for you. The city will also schedule a final inspection to close out the permit once the job is done. For extensive storm damage, your insurance company will send an adjuster to assess the loss. We can work directly with them to ensure your claim covers a full, code-compliant repair.

We live here, we understand the weather, and we know how to fix the damage it causes—fast.
