During an active leak, first protect people and belongings without putting yourself at risk, then describe the symptoms clearly. Roof access, weather and team availability determine the possible response; temporary protection may come before a permanent repair.
Explain what is happening now
Provide the address, building type, affected room and whether water is still coming in. Explain when it started, the conditions and whether more than one area is affected. Photos taken indoors or from the ground can help. Do not climb onto a wet, snowy or unfamiliar roof to obtain a better photograph.
Separate immediate protection from a lasting repair
The immediate goal may be to limit water entry when conditions allow work to proceed. A temporary measure does not necessarily address the entire defect. The cause, deck condition and connections still need assessment. We clarify what may be possible during the first visit and which checks are needed for the next step.
Keep a simple record of the event
Record times, changes in water flow and the areas affected. Keep photos and details of previous work for your own records and, if needed, your insurer. If water reaches electrical equipment or a ceiling is visibly deforming, stay clear and involve the appropriate professionals. Occupant safety comes before examining the roof.

Your questions, answered.
Do you guarantee arrival within an hour?
No arrival time is promised before the situation is understood. Call to confirm team availability, roof access and the work that may be possible in current conditions.
Can a roof be repaired while it is raining?
That depends on the defect, materials and safe working conditions. Temporary protection may be considered, while a permanent repair may require different conditions.
What should I explain during the call?
Start with the address and whether water is entering now. Describe affected rooms, when it began, visible risks and how the building can be accessed.
