About this service
Is This an Emergency?
Call right away if you see any of these:
- ✓ Water dripping or running from the ceiling
- ✓ A ceiling that is bulging or sagging with water
- ✓ Water near light fixtures, ceiling fans or outlets
- ✓ Shingles, flashing or a section of roof torn off by wind
- ✓ A tree limb that has punched through the roof
- ✓ Water running down an inside wall during rain or snowmelt
A slow stain that has been there for weeks is still worth fixing soon, but it is usually not an emergency. In that case, see our roof leak detection page.
How it works
What to Do Right Now
These steps limit damage while you wait for us:
Use buckets, pots or a trash can. Lay towels around them to soak up splashes.
If drywall is bulging with water, place a bucket under it and poke a small hole in the lowest point with a screwdriver. It is better to drain it than let it give way.
Get furniture, electronics, rugs and boxes out of the wet area.
Photograph the water, the ceiling and anything damaged. These help with insurance.
A wet, icy or snowy roof is extremely slippery, and storms often bring wind and lightning.
STEP 01Turn off power to wet areas
If water is near a light, fan or outlet, switch off that circuit at the breaker panel.
What to know
What We Do on an Emergency Call
⌂
Stop the water first
Our first job is to get the roof dry on the inside. Depending on the damage, that might mean a temporary seal over the failed spot or a secured emergency roof tarp over a damaged section.
◎
Find the real source
In a downpour, water can travel along the decking and rafters before it drips. We check the attic and the roof to find where it is actually getting in, so the temporary fix goes in the right place.
✓
Plan the permanent repair
Some repairs can be finished on the same visit. Others need dry weather or matching materials. We explain what we did, what still needs doing and what it will cost.
Summer thunderstorms
Late summer storms drop heavy rain in a short time. Weak flashing, cracked pipe boots and worn valleys often fail all at once.
Spring snowmelt
When a deep snowpack on the roof starts melting, water finds every weak spot, especially around chimneys and at the eaves.
Winter ice dams
Ice built up along the edge of the roof can push water under shingles and into exterior walls. See ice dam roof leak repair.
Canyon wind damage
Strong wind out of Spanish Fork Canyon can rip shingles and ridge caps off in a single gust, leaving the roof open to the next rain. See storm and hail damage repair.
Emergency Roof Leak Repair
Temporary Fix vs Permanent Repair
A temporary fix is meant to hold water out for days or weeks, not years. Tarps break down in strong sun and wind, and quick sealants are not a lasting solution. Once the weather allows, the damaged area needs a proper repair with new shingles, flashing or underlayment as needed. We schedule that follow up visit with you before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a question? Call and ask. We will give you a straight answer.
(801) 426-8831 →We can usually slow or stop the water with a tarp or temporary seal during a storm. A permanent repair needs the roof to be reasonably dry, so it is often done once the weather clears.
Protect your home first. Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent more damage. Call us to stop the leak, take photos, then contact your insurer.
In most cases, yes. Keep people away from any ceiling that is sagging, keep power off to wet areas and stay out of rooms with heavy water. If you smell burning or see sparks, leave and call 911.
It depends on the damage and the conditions. Stopping a leak during a storm can cost more than a scheduled repair. We explain the cost before starting. See our cost guide.
The problem is still there. It will come back with the next storm or snowmelt, often worse. Call so we can find and fix the source while it is still a small job.
