As part of living in a desert, most of us have accepted that Phoenix brings rainfall in random occurrences. As such, we aren’t always thinking about the worst that can happen during or as a result of crazy storms…let alone what might happen to our roofs. And these are the times we may just need an emergency roof repair in Phoenix.
Let’s first preface this question before giving an answer, with what might cause a person to need emergency roof repair in the first place. Oftentimes we come across instances for repair either during or directly following inclement weather. We get calls about great big trees having been uprooted in a violent storm, only to have toppled over onto the roof of someone’s beloved home.
As you can imagine, depending on the severity of the storm, water pouring inside a house through large cracks or a gaping hole in the ceiling is not something you would want, and therefore should be repaired as soon as possible. Give us a call and let us help you get your home back in order before damages become any worse.
Depending on what caused damage to a roofing system, the repair process can look a little different. The number one priority during any roof repair is the safety of both the people working to get the job done and the homeowner alike. If a roof has been damaged during a storm, we will likely head to the home once the extreme weather has subsided, assess the damage, and may use a temporary emergency tarp to prevent any more water from entering and structurally compromising the roofing system.
If roof damage is caused by a fire, we will do our best to restore the roofing system back to a state that will keep the elements out. You should be aware that in the case of an emergency roof repair where a fire was the cause of damage, the overall structural integrity of the roofing system could ultimately be compromised. There is sometimes another culprit (or in this case, culprits) that is the cause for an emergency roof repair in Phoenix, and it is one that can seem so unsuspecting. Rodents. Some rodents will gnaw at rotted wood, eventually working their way through, leaving large holes in their wake.
Once you have taken care of an emergency roof repair due to storm damage, whether that be from water or tree limbs, damage from a fire, or holes left by rodents running rampant on rooftops, you should always reach out to consult a qualified roofing professional to discuss your next steps in fully repairing or replacing your roof. Here at Capstone Roofing in Phoenix, we are always ready to help you preserve your precious home in the times you need us the most.
Monsoons can wreak havoc on the valley, and it’s no surprise that sometimes we can be the unlucky ones that experience a tree falling on our rooftop, or lighting striking our homes. If or when you are in one of these situations and need an emergency roof repair, give us a call right away. We will get out at the appropriate time and work diligently to prevent any further damage from happening.
While we do suggest getting an emergency tarp in place, it isn’t often as easy, or safe, as throwing a tarp over a hole and calling it a day. To get one of these lifesavers in place can sometimes be more labor-intensive than you might think...especially if you want it to last during the waiting period of having your insurance company approve a claim to repair the damages. Installing an emergency tarp can take tools such as 2x4s, a saw, nails, a measuring tape, a utility knife, and occasionally a staple gun to really get things sealed tight. Hiring a professional will ensure your safety, and it will also ensure that the emergency roof repair is done with great care and quality.
Learn MoreStorm chasers are a term used to refer to scammers and roofing frauds that will follow storms and seek to exploit homeowners in desperate need of emergency roof repair in Phoenix. They can be easy to spot if you're aware of their persuasiveness and avoidance of providing proof of business. Storm chasers will notoriously come knocking on your door and offer you what seems to be the deal of a lifetime. They will proceed to ask for either a large deposit or the whole payment, upfront to begin the work before disappearing with no way to get a hold of them. To avoid this nightmare of making a bad situation worse, always ask your contractor for some sort of valid proof of identification.
