What Makes This an Emergency?
Active water entering your home, structural sagging, missing roofing material after a wind event, or debris impact all require immediate professional response. Water damage compounds fast: insulation saturates, drywall swells, and mold can establish within 24–48 hours. Do not wait for business hours.
What to Do Right Now
Contain water and document damage
Place buckets under active drips and move valuables away from wet areas. Photograph everything — inside and outside — before any tarping or cleanup begins. Your insurer will require dated documentation of the original damage.
Do not go on the roof
Wet roofing material is extremely slippery. Wind-damaged tiles may not support weight. Leave the assessment to a licensed professional with fall-arrest equipment.
