FAQs

How do I know if my roof leak is an emergency that needs a quick fix?

Any active water intrusion that is dripping inside your Knoxville home or business is considered an emergency. Signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, bubbling paint, damp insulation in the attic, or visible daylight through the roof deck. Because Knoxville often sees sudden thunderstorms and heavy spring rains, delaying a repair can lead to drywall collapse, mold growth, and electrical hazards. If you can see or hear water coming in, call us immediately for a same-day leak response.

How fast can your crew get to my property in the Knoxville area?

We maintain on-call technicians stationed throughout Knox County and the surrounding communities (Farragut, Powell, Halls, Maryville, Oak Ridge, etc.). During normal business hours we can typically arrive within 2–4 hours of your call. After-hours and weekend emergency service is available 24/7, with an average response time of 1–3 hours depending on weather and traffic. Our dispatch team will give you an exact ETA when you book.

What can I do to minimize damage while waiting for the repair crew?

1. Place a bucket or large container under active drips. 2. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak path. 3. If water is ponding in your ceiling, carefully poke a small hole at the lowest point to relieve pressure and let water drain into a container. 4. Turn off electricity to affected ceiling fixtures if you notice moisture near lights or wiring. 5. Take clear photos of the damage for insurance purposes. Do not climb on the roof yourself—wet shingles and steep pitches common in Knoxville homes create a serious fall risk.

Will the quick leak fix be permanent or only a temporary patch?

Our first priority is to stop the active water intrusion immediately, which we do with high-grade roofing membranes, sealants, and mechanical fasteners rated for full exposure. In many cases—such as replacing a blown-off shingle, re-sealing a flashing joint, or tightening a loose metal panel—the emergency fix is also the permanent solution. If the leak stems from systemic issues (widespread hail damage, advanced shingle wear, rotten decking), we will provide a written report and estimate for a long-term repair or replacement after the roof is dry.

What types of roofing materials can you repair in a quick-fix visit?

Our technicians carry materials and hardware to service asphalt shingles, metal panels, modified bitumen, EPDM rubber, TPO, and most commercial flat-roof membranes. We stock color-matched shingles popular in Knoxville (architectural and 3-tab) and have magnetic tacking tools for concealed fastener metal roofs. Slate, tile, and cedar shake repairs may require a special-order replacement tile or shake; in those cases we install a watertight temporary membrane until the correct material arrives.

Do you assist with insurance claims for storm-related roof leaks?

Yes. Knoxville’s location in the Tennessee Valley exposes roofs to hail, high winds, and occasional tornado remnants. We document the leak source, take detailed photos, create a written damage report, and can meet onsite with your adjuster if requested. Many quick leak fixes are covered as part of a larger storm-damage claim, and having prompt professional documentation increases the likelihood of approval. Just let our inspector know you plan to file, and we’ll tailor our paperwork to meet insurer requirements.
