FAQs
What should I do first when I notice a sudden roof leak in my Cowan home?
Move valuables away from the drip, place a bucket or tarp under the leak to minimise water damage, switch off electricity in the affected area if water is near wiring, then call our 24/7 emergency line. The sooner we’re alerted, the faster we can deploy a crew to stabilise the situation and prevent further structural or mould damage.
How quickly can your emergency roofing team reach a property in Cowan?
Because we keep a dedicated rapid-response crew on standby, we typically arrive anywhere in Cowan within 1–2 hours of your call, day or night. During severe weather events we triage jobs by severity, but you’ll always receive an ETA and status updates until the team is on site.
Which roof types and materials can you patch or repair during an emergency visit?
Our technicians carry materials and fasteners suited to Cowan’s most common roofs—terracotta and concrete tiles, Colorbond and zincalume metal panels, asphalt shingles, and flat membrane systems. We can also secure skylights, flashing, ridges and valleys. If a specialty product is needed, we install a temporary waterproof covering until the exact match arrives.
Is the emergency leak patch a permanent fix, or will I need a follow-up repair?
An emergency patch stops water ingress immediately but is usually considered a temporary solution. It gives us time to inspect the entire roof safely, source matching materials, and schedule a permanent repair or replacement section under better weather conditions. We’ll provide a written report and quote for any long-term work before we leave site.
How much does emergency roof leak repair cost in Cowan?
Costs vary with roof height, material and storm severity, but most emergency call-outs in Cowan range between $290 and $650 including labour, minor materials and GST. Complex jobs (e.g., large tarp installations or structural damage) may exceed this. We give a transparent price before work begins, and there’s no surcharge for after-hours attendance.
Can you assist with insurance claims for storm or tree-related roof damage?
Yes. We photograph all damage, document the cause, list the emergency works completed, and supply a detailed repair quotation—exactly what insurers request. Many Cowan homeowners forward our digital report straight to their insurer, which speeds up claim approval and reimbursement for both the emergency visit and the permanent roof repair.
