Emergency Roof Repairs

A roof leak or water infiltration can quickly cause serious damage. Novera Roofing is here to assess the situation and carry out the necessary repairs.

When a repair can't wait

A growing stain on the ceiling, water dripping in the attic, or shingles found on the lawn after a windstorm are all signs you need to act quickly. An emergency repair first aims to stop the water, then to correct the cause of the problem.

Situations that require an urgent repair

  • Active leaks and water infiltration
  • Damage from high winds
  • Torn-off or displaced shingles
  • Damaged membrane
  • Leaks around a chimney or vent
  • Snow and ice damage

Why act quickly?

When a roof has a leak, water can travel along the structure before it becomes visible on the ceiling. By that point, the insulation and wooden members may already be soaked, compromising their effectiveness and integrity.

A prolonged leak encourages mould, damages interior surfaces and can, in time, damage the roof structure itself. Prompt intervention limits the damage and avoids potentially more costly repairs.

Interventions tailored to your roof

  • Inspection and identification of leaks
  • Temporary measures to limit damage
  • Repair of damaged areas
  • Replacement of worn-out shingles or membranes
  • Renewal of seams and sealing details
  • Assessment of whether a replacement is needed

What to do while waiting for a roofer

  • Contain the water with buckets and towels when it is safe to do so
  • Don't climb onto the roof, especially when it's wet, icy or windy
  • Stay away from outlets, light fixtures and wiring exposed to water
  • Move furniture and valuables out of the affected area
  • Photograph the damage, inside and out, for your insurer

FAQ

What homeowners ask us

What should I do when my roof starts leaking?

First keep people and belongings safe: catch the water, protect furniture and cut power to the room if water is near a light fixture. Avoid climbing on the roof. Take photos, then contact a roofer to find and repair the source of the leak.

How much does an emergency roof repair cost?

It depends on the cause of the leak, the extent of the damage, the roof type and access. A small localized repair costs far less than redoing a section. We provide a clear estimate after assessing the situation.

Does a leak mean I need to replace my roof?

Not necessarily. Many leaks come from a single spot: flashing, a vent, a few shingles or a membrane seam. Replacement makes sense when the roof is at the end of its life or leaks are frequent and recurring.

Can a roof be repaired in winter?

Yes. Some repairs can be done in winter depending on temperature, snow load and materials. When a lasting repair isn't possible right away, a temporary measure can limit damage until conditions improve.

What damage might home insurance cover?

It depends entirely on your policy. In general, sudden and accidental damage, such as storm damage, is more often covered than normal wear. Contact your insurer and keep your photos; we can describe the damage we observe.
