Emergency roof repair in Austin

If water is reaching your ceiling, treat it as one. A slow drip means the decking and insulation above it are already wet, and every hour adds drywall damage and mold risk. A temporary dry-in now is far cheaper than the interior repairs later.

Stop the water first. Your policy expects you to take reasonable steps to prevent more damage, so getting the roof covered comes before anything else. Once it's dry, we inspect and tell you whether the damage is worth a claim — then you decide whether to call your insurer.

Often, yes — a tarp or temporary patch can go on in light rain once it's safe to be up there. We don't put a crew on a roof in lightning, high wind, or on a steep wet slope in the dark. If we have to wait, we'll tell you how to limit the damage inside until we can get up.

Think weeks, not months. A properly secured tarp will hold through the normal wait for an adjuster visit and a repair date, but sun and wind wear it down. It is a stopgap, not a fix.

It depends on the size of the opening and how the roof is built, so we price it on-site before any work starts. A temporary dry-in is a small fraction of the permanent repair, and when a storm caused the damage it is usually part of your insurance claim — keep the receipt.

Yes. Flat and low-slope roofs — TPO, PVC, modified bitumen — leak differently from shingle roofs, and the water often shows up far from where it got in. We trace the source, make a temporary seal, and schedule the permanent membrane repair.
