FAQs
How fast can you arrive to handle an emergency roof leak in Sweetwater?
Our on-call crews are stationed in Sweetwater and can usually be on site within 60–90 minutes of your call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. During widespread storm events we triage requests, but every customer receives a confirmed arrival window and real-time text updates so you know exactly when help is coming.
What immediate steps do you take to stop the water intrusion?
After a quick safety inspection, we remove loose debris, locate the penetration point with moisture scanners, and install reinforced polyethylene tarp or shrink-wrap secured with batten boards. We then apply temporary sealants or plug fasteners as needed. Inside the attic we set plastic sheeting and, if required, deploy small air movers or dehumidifiers to protect insulation and drywall until permanent repairs are completed.
Will emergency mitigation void my roof warranty or hurt my insurance claim?
No. Manufacturer warranties specifically allow temporary protective measures when done by a licensed professional, and Texas insurers expect homeowners to take “reasonable steps” to prevent additional damage. We document the roof’s condition with time-stamped photos, provide a written mitigation report, and work directly with your adjuster so your warranty and claim remain fully valid.
Do you service every roofing material found in Sweetwater?
Yes. Our technicians are certified to work on asphalt shingles, standing-seam and R-panel metal roofs, TPO and modified bitumen flat roofs, and even clay or concrete tile. We carry a stocked service truck with matching shingles, metal patches, TPO membrane, screws, and sealants to create a watertight stopgap regardless of roof type.
How much does emergency leak repair cost, and are payment options available?
The diagnostic and mitigation visit starts at $199, which is credited toward any further repair work. Simple shingle or metal patch jobs typically range from $350–$900, while more extensive structural repairs are quoted after inspection. We accept all major credit cards, offer 0% financing for qualified homeowners, and can bill insurance directly when a claim is approved.
What can I do until the crew arrives to minimize damage?
Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak path. Place a bucket or plastic bin under drips and poke a small hole in bulging ceiling drywall to relieve trapped water safely. Turn off electricity to affected ceiling fixtures at the breaker. Photograph the damage for insurance purposes but avoid climbing on the roof—wet shingles and high winds make it hazardous. Our crew will take it from there.
