Even for something as durable as your roof, it is not uncommon for it to have its share of problems. After all, it is constantly exposed to the harshness of the weather, and it is only to be expected that it will suffer some damage from time to time. But what roofing problems will require the immediate attention of a professional?
As mentioned above, it is not uncommon for your roof to sustain damage. For the most part, roof damage or degradation will not require immediate repair.
Remember, rapid response will cost you extra so you really want to ask yourself “is this really a roofing emergency?”. For instance, you won’t need to call your local roofing company in the middle of the night because you have a couple of missing shingles or there is a minor mold issue on your roof.
However, if your roofing system has been compromised and is allowing water to infiltrate your home, then that is definitely a problem that needs quick action. Most roofing emergencies are due to severe weather events. A tree might fall on your roof, or strong winds can blow off huge sections of the roof. A rotted roof deck can also pose a structural hazard and is something that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
Most roof repair companies will have a 24-hour emergency hotline. If you call in a roofing emergency in the middle of a storm, your roofer will have to wait until the storm subsides before mobilizing for obvious reasons. Once it’s safe, you can expect them to do a thorough inspection, and they will attempt to bring the structure back to a watertight condition to prevent further damage to your home.
