FAQs
What should I do first when I notice a sudden roof leak in my Corryton home?
Start by protecting the inside of your home—move valuables out of the way and place a bucket under active drips. If you can safely access the attic, lay down a tarp or plastic sheeting to contain the water. Next, turn off electricity in affected areas to avoid electrical hazards. Then call Sudden Leak Roofing right away. We offer free phone guidance and can dispatch an emergency crew 24/7 to stop the leak and prevent further damage.
How quickly can Sudden Leak Roofing respond to an emergency roof repair in Corryton?
Because severe pop-up storms are common around Knox County, we keep on-call technicians in Corryton and the surrounding communities. In most cases we can arrive within 1–2 hours of your call, even at night, on weekends, or during holidays. Our first step is to tarp the damaged section so rain stays out. Permanent repairs are usually completed the same day if materials are in stock; otherwise, we return within 24–48 hours once matching shingles, metal panels, or flashing arrive.
Will a roof repair be enough, or will I need a full roof replacement?
Approximately 80% of the sudden-leak calls we receive turn out to be localized issues—missing shingles, damaged flashing, or a small puncture—so only a repair is required. We perform a free 21-point inspection and provide photos so you can see the exact problem. If structural decking is sound and the roof still has service life left, repair is the most cost-effective choice. We only recommend full replacement when there is widespread shingle failure, multiple leaks, or when the roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (typically 20–25 years for asphalt in our climate).
How much does an emergency roof repair typically cost in Corryton?
Costs vary with the extent of damage, roof pitch, and material type. Minor shingle repairs often range from $275–$450, while larger sections with decking replacement can run $750–$1,500. We provide a written, no-obligation estimate before any work begins, and there is no additional fee for after-hours service. If the damage is storm-related, your homeowner’s insurance may cover most or all of the repair—often just your deductible.
Can Sudden Leak Roofing help me file an insurance claim for storm damage?
Yes. Our team is trained in the documentation insurers require. We supply detailed inspection reports, photos, and a line-item estimate using the same Xactimate software many carriers use. With your permission, we can meet the adjuster on-site to point out damage, answer technical questions, and expedite approval. This service is free to our customers, and it frequently results in faster payouts and fewer out-of-pocket expenses.
What types of roofing materials do you repair, and will the new shingles match my existing roof?
We repair asphalt shingles (3-tab and architectural), standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs, wood shake, and most low-slope membrane systems. For shingle roofs we stock over 40 popular colors from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, so we can usually achieve an excellent match on the spot. If your exact color is discontinued, we blend the closest available shade in an inconspicuous pattern so the repair is virtually unnoticeable.
