How to prevent leaking roof emergency?

We all rely on roofs to keep us and the things in our home safe from the weather. Our roofs protect us from rain, snow, hail, and even provide shade for us in the summer. We use our roofs every day and rarely ever think about how positively they impact our lives but what do you do if something happens to your roof? It is not uncommon for roofs to be damaged by hail, wind or even something like a tree falling through them. Here are four common questions that people have during a roofing emergency.

1. How do I know I have a roofing emergency?

If your roof is damaged during a storm or rainfall, and water is getting into your home, you most likely have a roofing emergency on your hands. Once on site GTA Restoration is often able to quickly apply a protective cover to keep water out of your home temporarily. It is impossible to properly assess your home until the weather conditions are better and we can get a good look at the damage and see how serious the problem is and what will need to be done to permanently fix it.

2. What usually causes a roofing emergency?

A roofing emergency is usually caused by the weather, often heavy rain, snow, or hail can wear down a roof and cause issues over time. It is also especially common that heavy winds are able to pull shingles off of your roof or cause other debris like branches to fly at your roof. In extreme cases, wind could also cause a tree or other tall structure in the area to fall on your roof.

3. How does GTA Restoration handle a roofing emergency?

We are a company that specializes in emergencies and understand how important it is for us to be on-site as soon as possible.

4. What should I do in a roofing emergency?

The most important tip for a homeowner to follow during a roof emergency is to not panic and not try to repair the damage on their own. Once the damage has already been done it is important to make sure that it is taken care of properly since your roof is such an important part of your home. GTA Restoration has a very skilled team that can help you work with your insurance and make sure that the job is taken care of properly.

We would like to stress the importance of not trying to fix the problem on your own, it can be incredibly dangerous climbing onto your roof and it’s not worth potentially injuring yourself.
