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. Lakehead Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Lakehead for 12 years.
Ice dam emergencies happen in CA winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Lakehead Roofing & Maintenance removes the ice dam, installs emergency ice-and-water shield where possible, and schedules a permanent fix with proper eave protection for next winter.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Emergency Call
Call (877) 586-1316 and describe the situation. Active leak, storm damage, fallen debris, collapsed section — we triage over the phone and dispatch a crew. Same-day response for active emergencies in Lakehead.
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.
Scope of Damage
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.
Fix It Right
The permanent fix restores your roof to full protection. All emergency patches removed and replaced with permanent materials. Damaged shingles, flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots replaced. Underlayment and decking repaired or replaced as needed.
