Urgent Roof Repairs After Storms and Sudden Leaks

Some roof problems cannot wait for a convenient week. A spring storm can strip shingles or lift tiles, a heavy branch can punch through the deck, and an ice dam can push meltwater under the roof covering until it drips through a ceiling. Once water is getting in, every rainfall adds to the damage inside, from wet insulation to stained plaster and soaked flooring.

Toronto Roofing & Masonry deals with urgent roof damage in two stages. First we make the roof watertight again, with a secure temporary cover or patch over the opening so the weather stays out. Then we look at the damage properly, explain what the lasting repair involves and give you an estimate, so the permanent work is done with the full picture rather than in a rush.

Why choose us

How We Handle Urgent Roof Damage

Watertight First

The first job is to stop more water getting in, so the damage inside your home stops growing while the repair is planned.

The Full Extent Checked

Storms often do more than the obvious hole. We check the surrounding covering, flashing and deck so nothing is missed in the permanent repair.

A Clear Repair Estimate

Once the roof is secure, you get an estimate for the lasting repair with the options explained, rather than a decision made in a hurry.

Every Roof Type Covered

We work on asphalt shingle, flat, slate and tile roofs, as well as chimneys and roof edges, so one contractor can deal with the whole problem.

Pricing

What Affects the Cost of an Urgent Roof Repair

Every storm leaves different damage, and the estimate depends on factors such as these:

  • How large the damaged area is and how many layers are affected
  • The roof covering, from asphalt shingles to slate or tile
  • Whether the roof deck or framing has been damaged
  • How easy the damaged area is to reach safely
  • Whether a temporary cover is needed before the permanent repair

The work

How an Urgent Roof Repair Is Carried Out

The main stages of the job, from the first look to the final check.

  1. Your Call

    Tell us what has happened and where water is coming in. Photos taken safely from the ground help us understand the damage before we arrive.

  2. Making the Roof Safe

    We secure a temporary cover or patch over the opening so rain and snow stay out while the repair is planned.

  3. Assessment and Estimate

    We check the full extent of the damage, explain what the lasting repair involves and give you an estimate.

  4. Permanent Repair

    The agreed repair is carried out, then we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Questions About Emergency Roof Repairs

What should I do while I wait for a roofer?

Stay off the roof and keep away from any sagging ceiling. Move furniture and belongings away from the leak, catch dripping water in buckets and, if water is near light fittings or sockets, switch off the power to that area. Take photos of the damage from inside and from the ground.

What counts as a roofing emergency?

Water coming into the house, a section of roof that has been opened up by wind or a fallen branch, or loose material that could fall are all reasons to call straight away rather than wait.

Is a temporary repair enough?

A temporary cover is there to keep the weather out until the lasting repair is done. It is not a substitute for the permanent repair, which we estimate once the roof is secure.

Can you repair a roof in winter?

Temporary covers and many repairs can be done in cold weather once snow and ice have been cleared safely. Some materials bond best in milder temperatures, and we tell you if part of the work is better finished when conditions improve.

Why does my roof leak when ice builds up on the eaves?

Heat escaping from the house melts snow higher up the roof, and the water refreezes at the colder eaves. The ridge of ice holds back more meltwater, which can be pushed under the roof covering and into the house.
