Is Your Situation an Emergency? — Call If You See Any of These

If you’re unsure whether your situation needs immediate response, use this list. Call us right away if you notice:

Active water intrusion:

• Water dripping or running inside your home or building
• Ceiling bulging, sagging, or visibly wet
• Water stains spreading rapidly across ceilings or walls during or after rain
• Visible stream or pooling water in an attic or interior space

Structural damage:

• Shingles visibly missing, lifted, or displaced from the roof surface
• A fallen tree, branch, or debris that struck the roof
• Visible collapse or depression of any roof section
• Daylight visible through the attic boards

Winter emergencies:

• Ice dam formation with water appearing inside at eave level
• Heavy snow load causing visible structural stress or sagging
• Freezing rain damage leaving roof sections exposed

Commercial building emergencies:

• Flat roof drain failure with water backing up inside
• Membrane section failure visible from above
• HVAC or equipment penetration failure during or after a storm

When in doubt — call. We assess by phone at no charge and tell you honestly whether you need immediate dispatch or a next-day scheduled visit. The call costs nothing. The delay might cost thousands.

What Happens When You Call United Roofers

The 5-Step Emergency Response

Step 1 — You call, we answer. Immediately. (905) 789-1335 — day, night, weekend, holiday. A real person answers, not a voicemail or an answering service. We gather your address, property type, and situation details and mobilize our team.

Step 2 — Fast dispatch to your location. From our Brampton and Cambridge offices, we serve all 15 Ontario locations. We plan the fastest route to your property and arrive with the equipment needed for your specific emergency — tarping materials for wind damage, drainage equipment for flat roof flooding, thermal cameras for leak detection.

Step 3 — Thermal imaging assessment on arrival. We don’t climb up and guess. Before touching the roof, our thermal imaging cameras scan for moisture distribution — finding exactly where water entered and how far it has travelled inside. In Ontario’s older housing stock, water frequently enters at one point and travels metres before appearing inside. Thermal imaging finds the real source on the first visit.

Step 4 — Immediate stabilization. Professional tarping, temporary sealing, and emergency drainage measures stop further water entry immediately. We don’t leave until the situation is controlled — your property is protected from additional damage while permanent repair is arranged.

Step 5 — Permanent certified repair + insurance documentation. Once the property is stabilized, we complete a lasting certified repair using manufacturer-approved materials. Full photo documentation, thermal imaging reports, and written condition assessment are provided — everything your insurance adjuster needs to process your claim.

Emergency Roof Repair Scenarios We Handle

Storm and Wind Damage

Ontario’s storm seasons — summer thunderstorms, autumn wind events, and winter ice storms — regularly cause sudden shingle loss, flashing failure, and structural impact on residential and commercial roofs. Missing shingles expose the decking to water infiltration within hours of the damage. We respond to wind damage emergencies across all our Ontario service areas, assess the full extent of storm damage, and repair it completely — not just the obvious section.

What we do:

• Emergency tarping of exposed sections to stop immediate water entry
• Full thermal imaging assessment to detect any moisture already infiltrating
• Permanent shingle, flashing, or membrane repair
• Written storm damage report for insurance claim support

Roof Leak Emergencies

A sudden interior drip during rain is almost never coming from directly above the water stain — it’s entering somewhere else and travelling. Roof leak emergencies require finding the true source, not patching the visible symptom. Our thermal imaging makes this precise.

Common leak emergency causes we repair:

• Flashing failure at chimneys, skylights, vents, and wall joints
• Lifted or missing shingles allowing direct water entry
• Valley failure concentrating water flow at a joint
• Pipe boot deterioration at roof penetrations
• Flat roof seam or membrane failure
• Gutter overflow backing up at the fascia and soffit

We repair the actual entry point — not the symptom. The repair lasts because we fix what’s actually failing.

Ice Dam Emergencies

Ice dams are Ontario’s most destructive winter roofing emergency. When attic heat escapes through the roof, it melts the base of the snowpack at the ridge. That meltwater flows down to the cold eave, refreezes, and builds up — eventually backing water under shingles and into the building. Interior water staining from ice-dam intrusion can begin weeks after the ice formed, and the source is rarely obvious.

What we do:

• Safe ice removal to stop further backup
• Thermal imaging to locate where water has already entered and how far it has travelled
• Emergency sealing at the entry point
• Permanent repair of any shingle, flashing, or deck damage
• Attic ventilation assessment — because ice dams are fundamentally a ventilation problem, not just a shingle problem

Fallen Tree and Debris Impact

A fallen tree or large branch striking a roof can cause structural damage far beyond what’s visible from the ground. Deck damage, rafter compression, and widespread shingle displacement can all result from a single impact — and rain will find every new gap immediately.

What we do:

• Safe debris removal coordination
• Structural assessment of the affected area
• Emergency tarping for the full damage zone
• Complete repair including deck and structural remediation where needed
• Full documentation for insurance — impact damage is typically covered under homeowner policies

Flat Roof Emergencies

Commercial buildings, home additions, garages, and modern residential flat-roof designs are vulnerable to sudden membrane failure — particularly during and after heavy rainfall, when drainage blockage causes water to back up faster than the membrane can handle.

What we do:

• Emergency drainage clearing — blocked drains and scuppers that are causing backup
• Membrane sealing for sudden breach points
• Thermal imaging to locate all infiltration points on large commercial roof areas
• Complete flat roof repair using TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, or BUR repair methods

What to Do While Waiting for Emergency Roof Repair

When you’ve made the call and our team is on the way, protect yourself and your property:

Inside the building:

• Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the active leak
• Place buckets or containers to catch dripping water
• If ceiling bulges significantly with collected water, carefully pierce the bulge with a small hole to drain it in a controlled way — this prevents the ceiling from collapsing under water weight
• Photograph everything — water damage, staining, and the interior conditions — before moving anything

Outside:

• Do not attempt to climb onto the roof yourself — especially in wet, icy, or wind conditions
• If it’s safe to do so, photograph visible exterior damage from the ground
• Note any debris, fallen branches, or obvious points of roof failure that you can see without approaching the roof

For insurance:

• Document the timeline — when the weather event occurred, when you noticed the damage, when you called
• Keep records of any emergency expenses (hotel if property is uninhabitable, temporary repairs, etc.)
• Do not make permanent repairs yourself before the adjuster sees the damage — document first

Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency Roof Repair

Do you really answer at 2am on a Sunday? Yes. 24/7 means 24/7 — not “most hours” or “business hours plus.” Call (905) 789-1335) any time and a real person answers.

How fast can you respond to an emergency? Response time depends on your location and current call volume. We dispatch as fast as possible and give you an honest ETA when you call. Our Brampton and Cambridge offices allow faster coverage across our full service area than single-location contractors.

What is the difference between emergency tarping and permanent repair? Tarping is immediate protection — stopping water entry while the property is assessed and a permanent repair is planned. Permanent repair is certified installation that solves the problem for the long term. We provide both in sequence, with full documentation at every stage.

Will my insurance cover emergency roof repair? Storm damage, sudden wind failure, fallen tree impact, and ice-dam damage are typically covered under Ontario homeowner and commercial property insurance. We provide complete documentation for your claim. Check your policy for specific coverage terms — deductibles and exclusions vary.

Should I try to tarp my own roof before you arrive? Only if it is completely safe to do so and you have the proper equipment. Most roofing emergencies occur in wet, icy, or windy conditions where the risk of a fall is real. In most cases, containing the damage inside and waiting for our team is the safer choice.

Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency calls? We charge fair, transparent rates for emergency work — no inflated after-hours surcharges. Before any permanent work beyond immediate stabilization, you receive a clear verbal estimate followed by a written quote.

Can you repair any type of roof in an emergency? Yes — asphalt shingles, metal roofing, flat membrane systems (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR), slate, tile, and wood roofing. Every system we install, we can emergency-repair.
