Emergency Roof Repairs & Reports

Safety is paramount
In most cases, emergency roof damage occurs during wild weather, generally a storm of some kind. This is not the best time to be outside staring at your roof and it’s most definitely a bad time to be reaching for your ladder. Before you do anything make sure that yourself and your family continue to be safe. For instance, if the damage to your roof has been caused by a tree branch falling, check and be certain that it hasn’t brought any power lines down with it.

Do not try to repair the roof yourself
When your roof is damaged it’s very tempting to pull out a ladder and have a go at fixing it by yourself. This is perfectly understandable but it is absolutely the wrong option. The main motive is to save money, but it’s nearly impossible for an unqualified person to properly fix a roof and it almost always ends up costing more than it would have if you’d simply contacted a professional. Even if you stop the roof from leaking, there are many other forms of damage that you won’t be able to repair and likely won’t even notice.

Be careful of shoddy tradespeople
Severe storms often bring a flood of con-men who capitalise on the storm damage to make a quick buck. It’s the perfect time for them to strike because the licensed and qualified roofers with strong reputations, such as National Capital Roofing, are inundated with requests for help and it may take us a while to get to every house. In those circumstances it’s important that you’re patient. We will get to your roof as quickly as possible and guarantee we will do a good job, a guarantee that is firmly backed up by the warranties we offer.
