FAQs
How quickly can your team reach my South Pittsburg property when I report an emergency roof leak?
We maintain a 24/7 on-call crew dedicated to South Pittsburg and the surrounding Marion County area. In most cases, a technician is dispatched within 15 minutes of your call and arrives on-site in 1–2 hours, even on nights, weekends, and holidays. During widespread storm events we triage by severity, but you will always get an estimated arrival time and text updates until we pull into your driveway.
What warning signs tell me I need immediate leak repair instead of a regular service visit?
Any active dripping inside the home, dark water stains that grow by the hour, bubbling paint or sagging drywall, a sudden musty odor after heavy rain, or shingles lying in the yard typically require emergency attention. If you can see daylight through the decking in your attic or hear water running overhead, call us right away—delaying even a few hours can lead to electrical hazards, mold growth, and structural damage.
Is it safe to stay in the house while the roof is leaking, and what should I do until the crew arrives?
If water is entering near electrical fixtures or pooling on ceilings that look ready to collapse, evacuate those rooms and shut off electricity to the affected circuit at the breaker panel. Place buckets under drips, move valuables and electronics, and photograph the damage for insurance purposes. Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself; wet shingles and steep South Pittsburg roof pitches make falls likely. Once our crew arrives, we’ll perform a safety inspection before starting the temporary or permanent fix.
Will an emergency leak patch solve the problem permanently, or will I eventually need a full roof replacement?
Our first priority is to stop water intrusion quickly with a professional-grade tarp, synthetic underlayment, or self-adhesive membrane. After drying in the area, we perform a detailed assessment. If the leak is isolated—such as a torn shingle, cracked flashing, or popped nail—our repair can be permanent. Widespread shingle deterioration, multiple leaks, or saturated decking often indicate the roof is at the end of its service life. We’ll document our findings, explain options, and provide quotes for both repair and full replacement so you can decide with no pressure.
Can you help me work with my insurance company on storm-related roof leaks?
Yes. We are licensed, bonded, and experienced in Tennessee insurance protocols. Our inspectors take photos, create CAD roof diagrams, and write Xactimate-formatted estimates accepted by most carriers. We can meet your adjuster on-site to point out damage, submit the required paperwork, and provide supplemental documentation if more issues are uncovered during repairs. This service is free when you hire us for the work.
How much do emergency leak repairs cost in South Pittsburg, and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on roof height, slope, access, and the materials needed. Simple emergency tarping starts around $250, while same-day shingle or flashing repairs average $450–$950. If structural decking replacement is required, costs can rise to $1,500 or more. After our inspection we give a written, no-obligation quote before work begins. We accept all major credit cards, offer short-term 0% APR financing for qualified homeowners, and can direct-bill your insurer when coverage is confirmed.
