What to Do When Your Roof Is Leaking
Before a roofer gets to you, these steps keep people and property safer.
- Stay inside and stay off the roofA wet or damaged roof is slippery and can give way. Leave the climbing to a roofer.
- Move people and valuables awayClear the room under the leak, and move furniture, electronics, and rugs out of the way.
- Catch the waterPut a bucket or tub under the drip and lay towels or plastic sheeting on the floor.
- Keep clear of wet electricsIf water is reaching a light fixture or outlet, stay away from it. Turn off power to that area only if you can reach the panel safely.
- Take photosPhotograph the leak, the ceiling, and any damage. Clear pictures help when we plan the repair.
If anyone is in danger, such as a collapse risk, fire, or electrical hazard, call 911 first.
Emergency Roofing Repair for Leaks and Storm Damage
Here is what we do when your roof cannot wait, from the first leak to the lasting fix.
Emergency Roof Leak Repair
We trace where the water is getting in and stop it, so the leak does not keep spreading through ceilings and walls.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
Wind, falling branches, and heavy rain can lift or break roofing. We repair the storm-damaged areas and check the roof around them.
Temporary Roof Securing
When a full repair cannot happen right away, we cover and seal exposed areas to keep more water out until the permanent work is done.
Is Your Roof Problem an Emergency?
Water and safety make the difference. Pick the side that matches what you see.
- Water is coming in through the ceiling or walls
- Roofing is missing, lifted, or torn open after a storm
- A tree or large branch has landed on the roof
- A ceiling is sagging, bulging, or dripping steadily
- Water is near lights, outlets, or wiring
- A dry ceiling stain that has not grown
- A few worn or curling shingles, with no leak inside
- Roofing that looks old or worn, with no water coming in
- You want a roof check before the next storm
For planned work, see our roof repair services.
Not sure which side you are on? Treat it as an emergency and call. A quick look at the roof can tell you what it needs.
Residential Emergency Roofing on Long Island
A roof problem at home does not stay on the roof. Water can reach ceilings, insulation, and walls, and storm damage can leave an open spot over a bedroom or kitchen. Our residential emergency roofing work focuses on stopping the water first, then explaining what the repair needs.
Our residential emergency roofing includes:
- Stopping active roof leaks
- Repairing storm damage to the roof
- Covering and sealing exposed areas
- A clear plan for the permanent repair
Commercial Emergency Roofing on Long Island
For a business, a leaking roof means more than damage. It can interrupt work, put stock and equipment at risk, and close part of a building. Our commercial emergency roofing starts with the same step: stop the water and secure the area, then plan the repair around how your building is used.
Our commercial emergency roofing includes:
- Leak repair on flat, low-slope, and other commercial roofs
- Storm damage repair
- Covering and sealing exposed areas
- Repair planning around your business and rooftop equipment
Roofing Types We Repair in an Emergency
Different roofs fail in different ways. Here is what tends to go wrong on each type after a leak or a storm, and where to read more.
Metal Roof Emergencies
Metal roofs shed water well, but strong wind can lift panels and loosen fasteners, and flashing around edges and openings can fail. Those spots are where leaks usually start.
Shingle Roof Emergencies
Shingle roofs can lose or lift shingles in strong wind, and water can get under damaged layers. Missing shingles and exposed underlayment are the usual leak points.
Flat Roof Emergencies
Flat roofs hold water, so a small problem can grow quickly. Ponding water, split seams, blocked drains, and punctures from debris are the usual causes of leaks.
Cedar Roof Emergencies
Cedar shakes and shingles can split or lift in a storm, and moisture can settle in hidden spots. We check the damaged area and the wood around it before planning the repair.
Our Emergency Roofing Process
From your first call to the lasting repair, here is how an emergency roofing job goes with Solaroof NY.
Tell Us What Happened
Call us or send your details. Tell us where the water is coming in, what the storm did, and your address. Photos help if you can take them safely.
We Assess the Roof
We look at the roof and the areas inside that were hit, find where the water is getting in, and check how far the damage goes.
Stop Water, Secure Area
We make the repairs that stop the water, and we cover and seal exposed areas so no more water gets in.
We Plan the Lasting Fix
Once the roof is protected, we explain what the permanent repair needs, whether that is a repair or a replacement, and give you a clear quote.
We Finish and Check the Work
We carry out the permanent repair, check the flashing, edges, and repaired areas, and clear the work area.
Final Review
We check the repaired areas, the flashing, and the edges, so you know the roof is protected.
Emergency Roofing Estimate: What Changes the Cost
Emergency roofing is priced by what your roof needs, not by one number. Here is what moves the estimate.
Your estimate
A clear estimate should list:
- Roof inspection
- Stopping the leak
- Storm damage repair
- Materials
- Temporary securing if needed
- Permanent repair or replacement plan
So you know what you are paying for.
- How much roof is damagedA small area takes less work to repair than a large one.
- Where the water got inWet insulation or soft decking under the roofing adds work.
- Type of roofMetal, shingle, flat, and cedar roofs each need different materials and methods.
- Height and accessA steep, high, or hard-to-reach roof takes more time and safety setup.
- Temporary securingCovering and sealing exposed areas is added when a full repair cannot happen right away.
- Repair or replacementA repair usually costs less than a replacement. We tell you which one your roof needs.
Every roof is different, so we look at yours first and explain what is in the estimate.

Emergency Roofing FAQs
Straight answers to common questions about emergency roofing.
What counts as an emergency roofing repair?
An emergency roofing repair is any roof problem where water is coming in or the roof is open to the weather, such as an active leak, missing or torn roofing after a storm, or a tree on the roof. If no water is coming in and the roof is stable, the repair can usually be scheduled.
What should I do first when my roof is leaking?
Stay inside and off the roof, move people and valuables away from the leak, catch the water with a bucket, and keep clear of wet lights and outlets. Take photos of the damage, then call us. If anyone is in danger, call 911 first.
What is temporary roof securing?
Temporary roof securing means covering and sealing exposed areas to keep more water out when a full repair cannot happen right away. It protects the property until the permanent work is done.
How much does emergency roofing cost?
It depends on how much roof is damaged, where the water got in, the type of roof, how hard the roof is to reach, whether temporary securing is needed, and whether the roof needs a repair or a replacement. We look at the roof first and give a free quote that explains what is in the price.
What is the difference between emergency roofing and regular roof repair?
Emergency roofing deals with the urgent part first: stopping the water and protecting the property. Regular roof repair fixes problems that are not causing active damage, and it can be planned in advance. The two often go together, with emergency work first and the lasting repair after. See our roof repair services.
How do I choose an emergency roofing company?
Look for a local company that explains what it will do before it starts, gives you a clear estimate in plain language, and has a plan for the permanent repair, not just a quick patch. Solaroof NY has served Long Island since 1998 and handles both the emergency work and the lasting repair.
