FAQs
How fast can you respond to a roof leak in Alcoa?
Because we keep an emergency crew on standby in Blount County, we can usually arrive anywhere in Alcoa within 60–90 minutes of your call. During severe weather events we triage requests by urgency, but you will always receive a confirmed arrival window before we dispatch.
What are the most common signs that I need a quick leak fix?
Look for brown ceiling stains, peeling interior paint, damp insulation in the attic, shingles that appear lifted or missing, and water drips around light fixtures or exhaust fans. If you notice any of these issues—especially after a recent storm—call us immediately to prevent mold growth and structural damage.
Do you provide temporary patching or permanent repairs?
Our first priority is stopping the active leak, so we typically begin with a fast but reliable temporary patch such as an emergency tarp, peel-and-stick membrane, or roofing cement. Once the roof is dry and safe to work on, we offer a detailed inspection report and options for a permanent repair or full replacement if necessary.
Will a quick leak fix affect my roof warranty or homeowners insurance?
No. Most manufacturers require you to mitigate damage as soon as a leak is found. A professionally installed temporary fix safeguards your shingle or metal-roof warranty by preventing additional water intrusion. Homeowners insurance policies also expect you to take reasonable steps to protect the structure; our documentation and photos make your claim process smoother.
How much does an emergency leak repair usually cost in Alcoa?
Prices vary with roof pitch, material, and accessibility, but most same-day leak stops run between $275 and $650, including service call, materials, and labor. We will give you a written estimate on site before any work begins, and the service fee is applied toward the cost of a permanent repair if you proceed with us.
What should I do until your crew arrives?
1) Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak. 2) Place a bucket or large container under any dripping water and poke a small hole in the ceiling drywall to relieve pooling if it’s bulging. 3) Shut off electricity to the affected area if water is near fixtures or wiring. 4) Take clear photos of the damage for insurance documentation. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself—wet shingles and decking are extremely slippery.
