Emergency roof repair is about containment first, permanent fix second. We secure the exposed area with a tarp or emergency sealant to stop active water intrusion. Then we assess the full extent of damage and schedule the permanent repair. Waban Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Waban for 23 years.
Our emergency response follows a clear sequence. Step one: tarp the exposed area to stop water entry. Step two: remove immediate debris — branches, loose shingles, dislodged flashing. Step three: inspect the full extent of damage to the shingles, underlayment, roof deck, and flashing system. Step four: perform emergency patches where permanent repair isn't immediately possible.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Rapid Response
You call, we respond. Tell us what happened and we'll have a crew headed your way. Active leaks and exposed deck get priority dispatch. We carry tarps, sealant, and repair materials on every truck.
Emergency Seal
Poly tarps secured with 2x4 battens and cap nails over all exposed areas. Active leak points sealed with roofing sealant. Loose or hanging shingles, flashing, and debris removed to prevent further damage in the next rain.
Damage Assessment
Thorough damage assessment: how many shingles are missing or damaged, which flashing points failed, whether the underlayment is compromised, and whether the roof deck sheathing absorbed water. All documented with annotated photos for insurance.
Permanent Repair Scheduled
We schedule the permanent repair within days. Blown-off shingles replaced, damaged flashing rebuilt, compromised underlayment and sheathing replaced. The emergency patch holds while we source materials and schedule the crew for a full restoration.
