Roof Leak Emergency Mitigation Scenarios
Common urgent roof leak situations and immediate mitigation steps to protect interiors.
Shingle Blow-Off Causes Ceiling Drips and Soaked Insulation
Wind-blown shingles allowed steady rain into attic spaces saturating insulation and ceiling finishes. Emergency tarping and insulation removal limited mold risk.
Our Solutions:
- Temporary tarping and containment for affected attic spaces
- Remove wet insulation and set drying equipment
- Protect interior finishes with tarps and temporary sheathing
- Coordinate with roofing contractor for repair
Valley Flashing Failure Leads to Concentrated Leak
A failed flashing detail in a roof valley concentrated runoff into a small area, causing long-term slow leaks into interior walls and ceilings discovered after staining appeared.
Our Solutions:
- Isolate leak source and apply temporary patching
- Access and dry affected wall cavities
- Replace or repair flashing as permanent fix
- Monitor moisture levels post-repair to verify success
Skylight Seal Failure Lets Continuous Water In
A failed skylight gasket allowed continuous water intrusion during storms, saturating adjacent ceilings and finish materials requiring localized demolition and drying.
Our Solutions:
- Remove surrounding wet materials and dry cavity
- Temporary cover or board-up skylight to stop ingress
- Replace skylight seals or unit once dry
- Coordinate interior restoration once structure is dry
