Emergency Roofing in South Fulton, TN

What to Do When You Have a Roofing Emergency

Knowing how to respond in the moment can make a real difference in limiting damage to your property. Here is what we recommend if you suspect your roof has been compromised.

Stay Safe First

Avoid standing under areas where the ceiling is sagging, discolored, or actively leaking. If water is coming in, move furniture, electronics, and valuables out of the affected area if it is safe to do so. Never attempt to climb onto your roof during or immediately after a storm.

Document What You Can

If you are able to safely take photos or video of the damage from inside or around the exterior of your home, do so. This documentation is valuable when working through an insurance claim and helps our team understand the scope of the damage before we arrive.

How Brown’s Construction Handles Emergency Roofing in South Fulton

We keep our process straightforward so you always know what to expect, even in a stressful situation.

Arrival and Damage Assessment

Our crew arrives on-site and conducts a thorough assessment of the affected areas. We look at both the exterior and interior of the damage to get a complete picture and give you an honest evaluation of what needs to happen.

Emergency Tarping and Temporary Securing

When immediate permanent repairs are not possible due to weather conditions or the extent of the damage, we install heavy-duty tarps and take steps to secure the area and stop water from getting in. This temporary protection is a critical step that can prevent thousands of dollars in additional damage.

Roof Repair or Roof Replacement

Once conditions allow, we complete the permanent work. Depending on the extent of the damage, that may mean targeted repairs to restore the affected section or a full replacement if the roof has been compromised beyond what repairs can reliably fix. We will always give you our honest recommendation and let you make the call.

Cleanup and Final Walkthrough

We clean up all debris and materials before we leave and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything looks right and you feel confident in the work that was done.

Emergency Roofing FAQ

How quickly can Brown’s Construction respond to an emergency? We prioritize emergency calls and work to get a crew on-site as fast as possible. Response times vary depending on location and current demand but we always communicate clearly about when you can expect us.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover emergency roof repairs? In many cases yes, especially when the damage is caused by a storm or a sudden event outside of your control. We help document the damage thoroughly to support your claim and can work directly with your insurance adjuster if needed.

What if the damage happens at night or on a weekend? We are available around the clock for genuine roof emergencies. Do not wait until Monday to call if your roof is actively leaking or has been visibly damaged.

Do I need a full replacement or just a repair? That depends on the extent and location of the damage as well as the overall age and condition of your roof. We will give you an honest assessment after inspecting the situation. You can also learn more about what to expect from our roof repair and roof replacement services.

Can I do anything to temporarily stop a leak myself? You can place buckets to catch dripping water and move belongings out of the way, but we strongly advise against attempting any roof repairs on your own, especially after storm damage. Leave the securing and repairs to our team to avoid injury and further damage.

How do I know if my roof was damaged after a storm even if I don’t see an obvious leak? Not all storm damage is immediately visible from inside the home. Missing shingles, lifted flashing, and dented or cracked roofing materials can allow water in gradually. Scheduling a roof inspection after any significant storm is always a smart precaution.
