Signs You Need Emergency Roof Repair

Emergency roof repair signs are pretty obvious, such as when you have leaks or a part of your roof has caved in. However, there may be some subtle signs that also indicate you need an emergency roof repair. These signs include:

  • Missing shingles. Missing shingles can be hard to spot, especially the higher up they are on your roof. To check if you have missing shingles, use a ladder to climb up and fully view your roof. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, call a professional roofing company.
  • Bald areas due to granule loss. Granule loss can happen because of hail, heat, rain, or simply due to old age. Although granule loss may not seem like that big of a deal, it exposes the parts of your roof susceptible to water and weather damage. Granules are very important in roof protection.
  • Sagging gutters. Sagging gutters are indicative of a blockage, worn-out gutters, or a smaller amount of downspouts than necessary for adequate water evacuation. Since gutters are essential in preventing roof damage, it’s important to get old gutters swapped out for new ones as quickly as you can. 
  • Damaged flashing. Bent, cracked, or dented flashing is also a sign that your roof may need repair. Consult a professional roofing company to see what the next steps are. 

 

Causes of Roof Emergencies
in Central TExas

Many things can suddenly damage a roof, such as inclement weather and natural disasters like storms or fires. Unforeseen accidents can also lead to a roofing emergency, like a tree falling onto your house, or termites and other pests chewing their way through your roof to the point where it makes it unsafe.

Another cause of roof emergency is when the damage has been a long time coming, and it finally occurs. For example, maybe there is a patch of missing shingles that you never noticed on the top of your roof. After a while of getting hit with the elements, that spot on your roof will eventually give out and cause a leak, or there may even be a hole in your roof.

Immediate Steps to Take in a Roofing Emergency

When you notice roof damage or a roofing emergency, the first thing you should do is call a reputable roofing company. They can help identify and locate the root cause and begin remedying it as quickly as possible.

If the damage is happening as a result of inclement weather, like a bad storm, stay somewhere safe and wait for the storm to pass. Most roofing companies cannot make it out to your property in the middle of a storm, and waiting for the storm to pass is better anyway because you can assess the total damage done to your roof.

Choosing the Right Roofing Contractor for Emergency Repairs

The right roofing contractor makes all the difference in your roof emergency. Here are a couple of tips to consider when choosing between roofing companies:

Punctuality

How quickly can the roofing contractor get to your house? They must arrive promptly in emergencies so that the damage can be mitigated as soon as possible.

Reliability

A roofing company always needs to be reliable. The best way to check their reliability and what people think of the company is by researching them online, reading a couple of reviews, and checking the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Customer Service

Tension can be high when your roof suffers an emergency—you’ll want a team that is compassionate, dedicated, communicative, and provides great customer service so you can feel that you are in good hands.

Completion Speed

Roofing emergencies are not always quick fixes, but a company should be able to fix your roof promptly. A roof that is damaged is a liability to you and your family. In some cases, you may not even be able to stay in your home while the roof is being repaired, so a company that can complete a project promptly is important.

Experience and Years in Business

Usually, the longer a company has been in business, the more experience it has, which is a good thing; you want someone who knows what they are doing to work on your roof.

Locality

Last but not least, you’ll want someone local. This means that in the case of your new or repaired roof having issues, the company can easily come back and fix it if it’s under warranty.

Licensed & Insured

Experienced, professional contractors should always be licensed and insured. That way, if anything were to happen on your property, you wouldn’t be held liable for it, such as in the case of a premises liability injury.

Manufacturer Certifications

If you find a roofer that has the GAF Master Elite certification, or any other outstanding certifications, that means they will give you outstanding service. Choose contractors that are certified for your peace of mind.

“We had some damage from a hail storm at the beginning of April.  The NewRuf representative stopped by and offered an inspection and found some damage. He also worked with our insurance company and we received great service in repairing two damaged areas of our roof.  Everyone involved was very knowledgeable and friendly in helping us. I would highly recommend NewRuf and would hire them again if the need arises''
